The UK was left shivering last night after a cold snap sent temperatures plummeting towards a nippy -7C.

Temperatures plunged overnight to their lowest this year as the nation enters a 'colder phase' of weather, the Met Office said.

Forecasters warned it would be a 'very cold night' on Friday ahead of a heavy frost-covered Saturday morning across England and Wales.

Overnight temperatures dropped well into the negatives in the UK with the lowest temperature of -6.6C being recorded in Sennybridge, Wales.

In the village of Shap, near Penrith in Cumbria, and in Eskdalemuir in Dumfries and Galloway, temperatures dropped to a bone-chilling -6.5C.

Unsettled weather and a brisk breeze will roll in on Saturday, with heavy rain and showers sweeping in from the west for much of the UK.

Temperatures are expected to vary between 5C in Norwich and Manchester, and 11C in Plymouth.

For central and eastern parts of England, the weather is expected to remain dry with clear spells and a heavy dose of frost.
