UK weather: Frost and freezing fog forecast as cold health alerts continue

After the fog and frost clears, Saturday will largely become a bright and dry day.

By the afternoon, temperatures will rise across the UK – ranging from 7C in parts of the Highlands to a milder 12C in south-west England.

England and Wales are forecast to see long spells of sunshine, away from the odd shower early on in the far north-west.

Northern Ireland will have some bright spells in the morning, with thickening cloud in the afternoon and rain by evening.

A few showers are expected in parts of Scotland where is will also be a breezy day, and will feel colder due to the wind chill.
