The UK is experiencing a massive 14C temperature fluctuation, with some regions in the south reaching highs of 7C at the same time as other sections of the Midlands dropped as low as -7C this morning.
Showery weather and rain are expected over the weekend as warmer air moves in after the cold spell. However, reports of further snowfall this morning have already been made in places like Limerick and Tipperary, reports The Mirror.
