"Michael Dukes, of MeteoGroup, predicted readings of minus 20C in some parts of Scotland this week.‘You are seeing some ridiculously low temperatures – like the middle of Scandinavia,’ he said.‘This is certainly an extraordinary cold snap.’Many areas will see temperatures remain below zero tomorrow, while the warmest place will be the South East, which will experience a balmy 4C.The Arctic conditions have been caused by a combination of light winds, snow cover and clear skies - and could see readings down to minus 20C in Scotland later this week."
