<\/p>\nUK temperatures are set to plummet in the coming days with some forecasters predicting the mercury could slump to record lows.<\/p>\n
The Met Office has predicted parts of the country, particularly in Scotland, could see temperatures as low as -3C today (Thursday, November 30). But bookmakers William Hill reckon it could get even icier \u2013 and have now made it an even-money chance for Brits see a chill of -10.4C or lower.<\/p>\n
The last time temperatures sunk this low was on January 19, when the record was set for 2023 in Drumnadrochit, near Inverness. Lee Phelps, spokesperson for William Hill, said: "With reports a serious cold snap is expected to hit the UK before November is out, we are even-money about the mercury falling lower than this year\u2019s record of -10.4C."<\/p>\n

If the predictions were to come true, the UK would be colder than Iceland \u2013 which is expecting lows of -4C today. <\/p>\n
The joint records for the all-time lowest temperature in British history were set in on January 10, 1982 and December 30, 1995, when the mercury dipped to a bone-chilling -27.2. Unsurprisingly both records were set in Scotland \u2013 the first in Braemar and the second in Altnaharra.<\/p>\n
And while it's not likely conditions will get that cool, today is still looking to be icy. A yellow weather warning for snow is in place until 11am tomorrow (Friday, December 1) across much of the country, the Daily Star previously reported.<\/p>\n
