Adding: "Staying cold next week with overnight frosts in places, and breezy easterlies bringing an additional wind chill."

It means that we are likely to see things pretty chilly with easterly winds continuing. "There will be a lot of dry weather. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday all show that high pressure will be dominant. It will stay cold but largely dry. Any wintry showers will be most likely in the east. The following week there will be a battle with some low pressure."

The UK long range forecast for Monday, February 10 to Wednesday, February 19, says that high pressure is expected to remain slow moving to the northeast of the UK. As a result, breezy winds across many areas are likely to come from the east or southeast, and cloud amounts are expected to increase as continental air is gradually drawn across the UK. It adds: "Breezy winds and increased cloud amounts are expected to exacerbate the cold feel, with temperatures often below average. Although many places across the country will remain dry, southern and southwestern areas in particular may see some wintry precipitation at times. Overnight frost is likely to feature during this period, particularly where skies are clear, however where winds remain breezy this will decrease the overall risk of a hard frost forming."
