The latest maps show that by as early as April 3 the UK could be covered in frighteningly cold air that could turn rain into snow. Meanwhile, milder air is set to cover the country that could push temperates into double digits, according to the latest Met Office forecast. Meteorologist Alex Deakin said: “It’s a cold start, generally an icy start. But generally, it’s going to be a fine day on Tuesday. “There will be cloud across parts of north-east England and in the Midlands.
“Again there will be one or two light showers here and there but for most, it’s dry and fine. “There will be a quite a bit of sunshine developing across East Anglia and it will stay sunny across western Scotland and Northern Ireland. “The keen, cold wind will be easing down but you will still feel it across parts of East Anglia and at times the south-east but temperates will generally continue to rise a little bit. “Temperatures could be seven, eight maybe nine degrees Celsius.”

The winds will start to weaken on Tuesday that will add to the milder feel while showers plague some parts of the country. Mr Deakin went on: “Certainly for the bulk of England and Wales it will feel that much milder than Monday because those winds will be lighter. “There will be one or two showers drifting around through the evening and we will start to see cloud thickening in the north-west as the night goes on. “For many though clear skies means there will be another frost to start Wednesday morning, there could be some mist and fog and a bit more cloud around the south-east at first but the most cloud will be above Scotland and Northern Ireland.”
Showers will cover northern parts of the UK on Wednesday, however, the rest of the country is set to remain dry and mild. Mr Deakin explained: “There will be quite a big change in the north on Wednesday with wet weather tricking in. “It will start to turn a bit milder too, double figures are possible. “For England and Wales on Wednesday there will be one or two light showers, most places will be dry and bright with winds switching round.
