TEMPERATURES will plummet to below freezing in parts today as Britain sees a return to wintry weather.
Snow and ice could affect some areas as the mercury dips to below freezing this morning – reaching as low as -5C.
The noticeably colder conditions will take hold throughout this week too.
And spring showers will also dominate the more changeable weather pattern emerging over the coming days.
Met Office meteorologist Craig Snell said of Sunday’s weather: “The colder air will continue to sink into the south.
“There will also be some rain and here will be a widespread frost on the first day of British Summer Time.
“It could even be as low as -5C in some sheltered spots in Scotland.”
There will be cloud in the south in this morning which will break up in the afternoon.
The reverse is true in the north – with the day beginning clear but overcast skies gathering as the afternoon wears on.

COOLER HIGHS
Cooler highs of 14C are expected in Cornwall and Devon on Sunday and in London a chilly 12C is forecast.
On the rest of the week’s weather, Mr Snell added: “Monday will not be a bad day for England and Wales as it will be dry with sunny spells.
“But the rest of the week from Tuesday onwards can be summed up as ‘April showers’.
“And by night, there will be a risk of frost so gardeners need to take note of that!
“Away from the main towns and cities, temperatures will fall down to -1C and -2C at night.”
And to cap it all off, there will also be snow across the high grounds of Scotland and potentially across the Pennines.
‘HEATWAVE’ ON THE HORIZON
But things could get hotter in the second half of April — with temperatures hitting 26C as plumes of warm air travel northwards from Africa.
The Weather Outlook’s Brian Gaze added: “With computer models strongly favouring a warm spring, there is potential for the record for the hottest spring to be challenged.
“Highs of 26C are likely in April. Plumes of warm air from Africa are expected.
“And there is an increased chance of a hot and settled summer due to the trend for more high pressure, which brings hot conditions in summer.”
The three-month outlook from the Met Office says: “For March-April-May as a whole, above-average temperatures are more likely than below-average temperatures.”
The average temperature for April is 11.5C although the highest-ever April temperature in the UK hit 29.4C on April 16, 1949, in London’s Camden Square.
