<\/p>\nAn Arctic weather system is set to bring snow and chilly temperatures to the UK – and some parts of the country could plunge below 0C. <\/p>\n
Despite the unseasonably warm start to October we've had, weather forecasters expect this weekend to be much colder. <\/p>\n
Netweather forecaster Jo Farrow writes: "There will be chill from the north, a plunge of Arctic air steered by a deepening low pressure which is moving from the Faroe Islands to Lapland."<\/p>\n

Earlier this week the Met Office warned snow was "likely" over higher ground in Scotland. The national weather agency also said temperatures could plunge 10C lower than they were at the start of this month. <\/p>\n
Advanced weather modelling maps from WX Charts show just how cold things could get. On Saturday (October 14) parts of Scotland could dip to 1C in the morning with temperatures elsewhere around 5C. <\/p>\n

Around midday on Sunday (October 15) minimum temperatures could hit a freezing -1C in Scotland and the north of England. Even in the rest of England, Wales and Northern Ireland, people might be facing just 3C.<\/p>\n
Although only Scotland is expected to see snow, rain is forecast for other parts of the country. For Saturday, Farrow says: "There will be a peppering of showers, mainly for the far north and western Britain and Northern Ireland, although a few will push further inland even reaching southern England by the afternoon."<\/p>\n

She adds for Sunday: "There will be a westerly wind for northern Scotland and an easterly wind along the English Channel but in-between, winds will be light. Showers will continue for Scotland, from the west on Sunday and increasingly turn to rain as the colder air drifts away."<\/p>\n
