UK weather: Temperatures to drop after dreary start to November
It may be time to dig out the winter woollies, according to the Met Office, as the UK starts to feel chillier this week.
After a dreary start to November with fog, drizzle and low cloud, this weekend will bring clearer skies and lower temperatures.
Frosts are expected in north Wales, the north and north-west England, and Scotland on Tuesday night, with daily highs of between 8C in Scotland and 11C in the south forecast over the next few days.

Northerly breezes could also bring an extra wind chill from Saturday, with a chance of snow in places like the Scottish Highlands.
Met Office meteorologist Zoe Hutin said: “It is getting chillier, certainly in the overnight periods, but also by day as well.
“It’s thanks to the clearer sky – I’m sure we’re all grateful for a little bit of sunshine today – and also the northerly wind is pushing slightly cold air across the British Isles.
“There is a chance of seeing some snow from the weekend onwards, but nowhere that we wouldn’t expect to see at this time of year.”
She said snow in London is “not entirely out of the question” but there is a “very, very low probability”.
“I think it’s pretty confident to say that it’s unlikely to see snow in the south of England,” Ms Hutin said.
Many weather stations across England and east Wales have seen no sunshine at all in the first eight days of this month.

Forecasters dubbed the bleak weather “anticyclonic gloom”.
The Met Office has said the phenomenon led to the UK experiencing, on average, only three hours of sunshine in the whole of the seven days up to Thursday last week.
