According to forecasters, a plunge of Arctic air would come with the coldest air of the year so far, and snow could amass up to 10cm (4in) in northern country.

For the North East of Scotland, a yellow warning of snow has already been issued.

Also, snow and ice are expected in the eastern and northern regions of the country until Tuesday with temperatures probably falling as low as -10C in some areas.

The areas covered by the snow and ice warnings include: Highlands, Central, Tayside, Fife, Grampian, Borders, Lothians and Orkney & Shetland.

Honor Criswick, a Meteorologist, said: “We are expecting pretty cold conditions and snow showers over the next few days across Scotland.


“Temperature wise, we could possibly see lows of -10C in the sheltered glens and higher ground across northern Scotland on Monday night, so it’s going to be feeling quite cold and the breeze is picking up a little bit so will be feeling rather chilly.


“Potentially we could see some of the coldest temperatures so far this year.”
