London is to be hit by an arctic blast as northerly winds bring freezing temperatures and the first frost of the winter to the capital.
Those heading to firework displays on Guy Fawkes night were warned to wrap up warm as temperatures plunged in the south-east.
The Met Office said Londoners could expect the first frost of this winter overnight as bitter winds usher in a cold snap.
Temperatures in London were expected to peak at about 10C today, although the chill from a strong northerly wind meant it would feel more like 3C.
Met Office forecaster Mark Wilson told the Standard: “We’ve already seen temperatures struggling, with a strong northerly wind bringing with it a wind chill factor. It’s going to be cold overnight and there’ll be a strong wind.
“There’ll be a frost on the ground in the morning, and the cold weather will continue tomorrow.
“The wind will be stronger and even lower temperatures mean it will feel like 2-3C – so a really noticeable wind chill.”
Monday will remain cool before temperatures begin to pick up, Mr Wilson added.
