The first taste of winter for all of Europe is set to take hold at the end of this week.

The culprit is expected to be a blocking High pressure cell which will become established over or near Iceland and this will open the door to an Arctic airstream which will plunge right down into the Mediteranean next weekend.

Temperatures will fall to around -5C under clear night skies in Europe and some parts of the UK. Scandinavia will see temperatures as low as -10C at night in some places with -15C a possibility in favoured valeys in Norway.

Daytime temperatures will remain at or below freezing in much of Scandinavia and some central parts of Europe. The UK should see daytime temperatures of between 4 and 7 centigrade inland. However, again, in some favoured mountain valleys, temps may stay only hovering just above freezing where suitable conditions prevail.

Next week low pressure will spill down into the North Sea from north of Iceland around the top of the High pressure and this will produce the first low level snows of the winter in northern Europe and some mountain or hill snow here in the UK.

Coastal regions exposed to the northerly wind in Europe and the UK will remain above freezing with more cloud and showers at times.
