The Met Office has revealed winter is coming with a polar plunge set to hit Britain within days as some parts of the country seeing a massive 10-degree drop in temperature.<\/p>\n
Cold weather is predicted to finally make an appearance after some areas of the South East and London experienced unseasonal highs in the mid-20s earlier in the week.<\/p>\n
In Scotland, the mercury could plummet to -4C in exposed spots and glens and the Met Office said \u201call parts of the UK\u201d will be cooler.<\/p>\n
Last weekend the UK recorded its warmest October in five years, but the country will now experience temperatures far below average for the time of year with snow on the cards on higher ground by Sunday.<\/p>\n
The forecast for Saturday into Sunday and Sunday into Monday is very cold, with Saturday night perhaps as low as -4C.<\/p>\n
