As we go into the last few days of January, we're going to see a rise in temperatures at the beginning of this week climbing to around 10C, before an icy whiteout comes crashing down on parts of the United Kingdom.

The Met Office has issued a severe weather warning ahead of the freeze, with wintry showers expected in north-west England, Scotland and Northern Ireland on Wednesday and Thursday.
Drivers are being urged to take extra care on the roads and be prepared for possible weather-related delays.
They said: "An active cold front is expected to push south-east across the UK during Wednesday introducing an increasingly cold and unstable air mass.
"Showers will become frequent and heavy, increasingly falling as snow in the North and West, and driven well inland by strong to gale force north-westlerly winds. Accumulating snow is likely, especially overnight."
Some areas are expected to see snow of up to two inches on lower ground and more than four inches on high levels, with temperatures dipping below zero by the weekend.
Predictions say that the North will fall to -2C on Wednesday night and the South to -1C.

"There will be an increased risk of snow towards the end of the week.
"We will already see wintry showers from Wednesday in some parts of the country.
"By the weekend there is a risk of snow anywhere. It will definitely be cold enough."
