Freezing weather forecast

Forecasters at the Met Office are predicting freezing weather next week, with an increasing chance of sleet or snow, especially in the east.

Daytime temperatures may not rise much above freezing in places, with mist and fog that could persist in one or two areas.

Met Office chief forecaster, Frank Saunders, said: "The change of weather follows a spell of very wet and mild weather but the coming days will add a more seasonal flavour for anybody out Christmas shopping."
