Temperatures in Scotland and Northern Ireland could drop into the minuses despite highs of nearly 26C in parts of the UK just last week. Elsewhere, temperatures will likely only be just above freezing.
Overnight temperatures are expected to fall as low as -5C in Scotland and Northern Ireland, and just above freezing for most of the rest of the UK, the Met Office says. The drop comes just a week after parts of England and Wales were basking in the hottest October weather in five years, with highs of nearly 26C. The sharp contrast will be particularly prominent in northern Scotland, which is expected to see snow and strong winds.
Mr Deakin added: 'Temperatures are struggling to get into the teens across the south and many places further north. 'It's 10C or 11C at best - add on the strength of the wind across northern Scotland and it really does feel cold.' Temperatures across the south of England are lower than average for this time of year today, even before the expected temperature drop tonight.
