The weather forecaster continues to say that “wintry showers” are also expected mainly in the North, however, these will be separated by sunny and clear spells.
Winds are also set to be moderate but strong along coastal locations and widespread overnight frost is also expected in places.
As the month progresses, the weather will continue to be unsettled across central and southern areas with spells of rain and showers throughout, again, some being wintry, particularly over higher grounds.
However, according to the Met Office, temperatures will soon return to normal in the South and more widely later.
According to WXChart, however, the North East could see snow as early as Thursday this week, as around 1cm of snow is set to fall from 3pm onwards.
