If you thought January was cold, you won't be happy to hear that February is set to be colder.

From mid to late February, we can expect the temperature in certain parts of the UK to drop as low as -10°C.

We've said it before and we'll say it again - get that big coat out of the loft and get yourself some big woolly socks! You're going to need them...

According to the Met Office, it's "most likely" to be wet and windy with the occasional bright day. The site says: "At the start of this period, the most likely scenario is for more unsettled weather, with wet and windy spells interspersed with brighter, colder and showery interludes.

"There is a risk of gales at times, particularly in the west, where the heaviest rainfall is also most likely."

Emma Salter, a Met Office forecaster said: "It's a big change from cold to unsettled conditions into February. A westerly flow means wet and windy spells at times, with gales possible in the North and West.

"But it looks like it turning colder again in mid and late February. The wind direction is expected to shift to a colder direction, which is from the east or north, with high pressure building."

She also advised people to keep their eye on the weather forecasts.

However, there has so far been no mention of snow in any area of the UK - but we should prepare for some very wet days as there will be prolonged rain.

Boo!
