Sadly many Brits are under the illusion that because it's Spring the milder and warmer weather is on the way.

However, if the weather over the next few days is anything to go by then we may need to re-calibrate expectations.

It was actually only three weeks ago that we were all still officially in Winter and this weekend many of us are going to get a reminder from the frosty season that it's is not quite done with us yet.

Over the coming week, blasts of subzero temperatures will shoot down from Scandinavia meaning things could start to feel a lot colder.

Freezing cold air on Saturday, March 20, could mean you need your woolies in London, Kent, Southampton and Bath this weekend according to the Daily Express.

The south eastern regions are going to feel the brunt of it with temperatures in the south of England plummeting to 0C.

Further north, Yorkshire and Manchester could be slightly warmer at 2C, while Cumbria in the north west could see 4C on the same day.

And Scotland will feel like the Algarve of the UK when locals bathe in highs of 7C.

The latest models from WXCHARTS also show blue and white swirls of cold air moving towards the north and east of Britain from a northerly direction from Scandinavia.

Brian Gaze, a forecaster at Weather Outlook, warned the chillier weather could hit south eastern regions from today.

Snow could even hit parts of England as early as Friday, the Met Office has warned.

The Weather Outlook forecaster Brian Gaze said earlier: “It will feel more like winter than spring, with polar air expected in coming weeks.

“Snow could settle, particularly in the South-East from Friday, with -5C lows in the South in the second half of the week.”

His forecast for the rest of this week said: "The next few days bring dry weather to much of the UK but central and eastern England have some rain.

"Daytime temperatures in the north and west stay above the seasonal average but it will be chillier near to the east coast and in south eastern counties."
