UK weather: Met Office issues woolly jumpers alert as Arctic blast arrives

Unusually mild spell to end with subzero temperatures likely overnight in much of northern England and Scotland

It could be time to get out the woolly jumpers, the UK Met Office has warned, as an Arctic blast brings the threat of plummeting temperatures, sleet, snow and ice.

The unusually mild and dry weather conditions of November so far are set to be replaced by more typical patterns. A yellow weather warning for northern Scotland kicks in at 4pm on Sunday, extending to southern Scotland and northern England on Monday evening into Tuesday.
