The UK’s “extreme” cold weather is set to subside amid surging temperatures on Monday.
After freezing conditions in recent days, Monday could see highs of 12-13C in Scotland, a Met Office meteorologist said. It comes after -17.3C was recorded at Braemar on Tuesday – the coldest temperature since February 11, 2021 – while other places around the UK experienced lows of -10C to -15C in recent days.

He added: “What I’m expecting in the run up to and through Christmas weekend itself is for
