Britain braced for Arctic blast

Britons face chilly temperatures and snow this week, thanks to a blast of Arctic air.

Despite the approach of May, forecasters say that summer will feel a long way off.

Temperatures will struggle into double figures in the south of the country, but many areas will see highs of just 7 degrees Celsius (47F) - about 4 degrees Celsius below the average for this time of year.

Global temperature records were broken in January, February and March, Nasa announced last week, but the UK is unlikely to feel the benefit of this trend this week.

Scotland and north-east England will also see gale force winds in exposed areas.

The Met Office predicts frequent showers which will mainly fall as rain, but Scotland and parts of northern England - especially on high ground - may see snow.

Overnight it will be cold enough for a frost.
