The UK is set to face a significant temperature drop tonight, with forecasters warning of “freezing fog” and widespread frost. Parts of the country, particularly in southern England, will experience bitterly cold conditions, with temperatures expected to plummet as low as -6C in some areas.

Following a mild spring-like start to the week, unsettled weather is now moving in, bringing wet and windy conditions across the country. The South of England is expected to bear the brunt of the cold snap, while Scotland faces fierce winds reaching up to 60mph.

According to the latest weather maps, London, Buckinghamshire, and Hampshire will see some of the lowest temperatures, with parts of Hampshire expected to drop to -4C overnight. These icy conditions follow thick morning fog that blanketed southeastern England, causing reduced visibility and potential travel disruption.

Freezing Conditions and Travel Warnings

Forecasters predict that temperatures will “widely” fall below freezing across much of southern England. As the night progresses, freezing fog is likely to develop, potentially causing hazardous conditions for motorists during Wednesday morning’s commute.

Residents in affected areas are advised to allow extra travel time and check local weather updates before heading out. The risk of ice on untreated surfaces will be high, making roads and pavements slippery.

What’s Next?

  • Blustery conditions will continue across northern parts of the UK, with rain expected to increase on Tuesday evening.
  • The south will see a cold but calm start, with temperatures dipping between -1C and -3C in most areas, while some rural locations could fall below -5C.
  • Freezing fog patches are expected to clear by mid-morning, making way for sunny and dry weather across much of England and Wales.
  • Despite the cold snap, a shift to milder temperatures is forecast later in the week, bringing sunshine and highs of 17C as the Azores High pushes warm air towards Britain.

With travel disruptions possible during the morning rush hour, motorists and commuters are urged to drive with caution and stay updated on local forecasts.
