The current wintry cold weather appears set to continue into December, as snow returns to parts of the UK and temperatures plunge to a bitter -6 °C. New weather maps from WXCHARTS, which uses MetDesk data, have revealed a period of unsettled weather beginning in mere hours.

From 6pm today and extending into Monday, snow and freezing temperatures are forecast to batter parts of Scotland. This evening, the mercury could plummet to as low as -6C in the Scottish Highlands near the Cairngorms - much colder than the November average of 8C for the country. By 3am tomorrow, snowfall is expected across much of Scotland, from Loch Lomond to Cape Wrath.
