Many Brits are experiencing very cold weather this morning, with thick fog blanketing parts of the UK.

It is thought that temperatures could have plunged as low as -10C in some parts of the country, after they hit -9C yesterday.

Most of the UK will also be experiencing frost, with heavy rain striking much of the northeast.

According to a report by the Mirror, Met Office forecaster Marco Petagna said: “Winter hazards are dominating the weather as the emphasis changes from snow to frost and ice.

"The UK will stay in cold air north of the jet stream."

Snow is expected in some parts of the northeastern higher ground, and yellow weather warnings remain in place for parts of Scotland due to rain.

Forecasters have predicted that this December could be colder than average, with Leon Brown, head of meteorological operations at The Weather Company’s Weather Channel arm, said: "Arctic incursions mean December could well be the coldest for a number of years."
