The Met Office has warned of an increased chance of snow later this month - with temperatures towards the end of January forecast to be colder than normal.
In its long-range forecast, the national weather service said parts of the UK could see wintery showers towards the middle of the month.
The Met Office forecast from January 5 to January 14 states: "Occasional unsettled spells are still possible, but these generally much more regionalised, and infrequent than conditions of late. As temperatures fall, the chance of any precipitation falling as sleet and snow increases, particularly over high ground and especially over northern parts of the UK, but not exclusively so by any means.

Currently the chance of widespread severe cold is still deemed low, but still the risk of impacts from cold, ice and snow is greater than normal."
