It will be normality for a time.<\/p>\n “There is a marked sea-change, and obviously it will be colder the further north one goes – but chilly conditions will prevail everywhere after tomorrow.”<\/p>\n Source: Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The UK is set for a cold weekend as temperatures plummet following an “Indian summer” which saw mercury rise to 24C – with snow on […]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n
