FORECASTERS have warned Brits need to prepare for another chilly night – with temperatures set to dip below zero again.
It comes after strong gusts of up to 60mph battered Cornwall, Devon and the Channel Islands overnight.
The Met Office said strong blustery winds – which would have hammered exposed spots – were set to start easing this morning.
And they said "winter is knocking on the door" as Altnaharra's temperature dropped to an icy -6.3C overnight.
The Met Office said this was the lowest temperature of Autumn so far, bringing sharp frosts in parts of Scotland.
And the forecasters said the chilly weather is going to start setting in.
