According to The Sun, conditions could become much colder later this month – with freezing air on its way to the UK from the North Pole.

The tabloid claims a band of low pressure stretching from Greenland to the coast of Ireland will come with it to create an icy autumn.

According to the Sunday Times, Mark Saunders of University College London believes Britain will be subject to record low temperatures for the season.

He said: “This would rank the 2020 January-February central England temperature as the coldest winter since 2013 and January-February 2020 as the seventh coldest winter in the past 30 years.”

The last appearance of the Beast from the East in Britain in 2018 brought perishing conditions as low as -14C in Scotland.

Seventeen people died as a result of the terrible weather.
