Northern Ireland and southern Scotland will see wintry showers this morning, leading to slushy conditions. There could be some snowfall across northern England, but only on higher ground. Rain and gusts of up to 70mph also caused huge waves at seaside spots such as Southsea, Hants.

Despite the wind and rain, southern parts of the UK will see reasonably mild temperatures for the time of year, Mr Petagna said.
He said: "It's quite unusual to see such a big contrast across the UK for this time of year.
"We're likely to see temperatures down to 3C (37.4F) in northern parts, which is below the average for this time, while southern parts could see highs of 13C (55.4F), which is quite mild."
