Last week was a shock to the system for many as temperatures dropped below freezing.

The country experienced a bit of a cold snap, with multiple weather warnings for snow and ice in place. While some warnings remain across the UK, freezing conditions are set to ease in many regions.

In Liverpool, the Met Office reports that temperatures should return back to around average for most as wetter and windier conditions become established. Forecasters report that any risk of snow is likely to be restricted to higher ground in northern Scotland.

Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Jason Kelly, said: "The first Atlantic airmass for a while is making some inroads across southern and central parts of the country bringing less cold conditions to many southern areas, whilst the cold airmass continues to hold on in the north. Where these two airmasses meet is the focus for continuing ice risk.

"For parts of northeast Scotland, wintry showers will bring some icy conditions overnight, as well as some accumulating snow inland. However further south rain will become the main hazard and a yellow warning for rain had been issued for Monday for parts of the South West. Warnings may well be updated over the coming days so keep up to date with the forecast in your area."

The Liverpool outlook for Wednesday to Friday is that it's set to be "milder". The forecast reads: "Frost and patchy freezing fog clearing on Wednesday leaving some sunshine. Rain is likely by the evening, preceded by hill snow. Milder, wetter and much windier to end the week."
