UK weather: Put away your sunglasses as SNOW is coming back andtemperatures set to tumble

The weather is set to take an almighty turn as the record-breaking heatwave is followed by more snow , despite being well into spring

Just as Brits finally dug out flip flops and sunglasses to revel in glorious record-breaking 29C heat, forecasters are warning of incoming SNOW .

By the middle of next week temperatures are set to tumble, with risk of frost and wintry showers as cooler air heads towards the UK.

Temperatures could even drop as low as -2 or -3C in parts of Scotland.

The threat of snow is possible across parts of Scotland, Wales, and northern England, forecasters say.

It will be a big contrast from this week's gorgeous warm and sunny weather which brought summer-like highs to the UK - even up north.

Yesterday was the hottest April day for 69 years, and today the sizzling temperatures have continued.

But sadly, it is set to be short-lived as yet more topsy-turvy weather heads closer.

Leon Brown, chief forecaster at The Weather Channel, said: “It will be quite a lot colder from the middle of next week for the west and northwest.
