Britain could face 60mph winds and lashings of rain before one final blast of heat next week.<\/p>\n
Temperatures are set to rise to around 21C on Sunday in parts of the UK, after some parts of the UK woke up on Saturday to an overnight frost.<\/p>\n
Met Office meteorologist Alex Deakin revealed that this morning the UK experienced “temperatures in single figures almost across the board and well down into those single figures across parts of Scotland”.<\/p>\n
Some pockets of western Scotland and northern England even dipped close to freezing, according to the Mirror.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Last night it reached 0.6C in Tyndrum, Scotland, while Exeter, England recorded a chilly 3.6C overnight.<\/p>\n
