This week has been colder than average across the United Kingdom, especially for those living along the North Sea coasts.

Cold northerly winds have been bringing Arctic air with temperatures remaining in single figures or up to 13C at best.
The wind direction will change into the weekend bringing something a little warmer next week.
But, it will also bring the return of some rain.
When will it get warmer?
The colder northerly airflow will get cut off from Saturday which will mean temperatures will start to creep up.
However, a switch to milder south-westerly winds will also bring an area of low pressure.
A spell of rain will initially spread northwards on Saturday across southern England and Wales.
Heavier rain is then likely on Sunday across England so while it will not be as cold, it still will not feel drastically warmer at this stage.
It will turn a little quieter with sunny spells early next week and temperatures up to the average with highs of 12-16C.
