Cairngorm glens could see -20C tonight
Tonight will be the coldest night of the winter so far for many places, reports the Highlands, Islands, Moray and Aberdeenshire Weather service.
According to latest stats from the team, locally covered by Lee Schofield in Carrbridge, it is set to be ‘colder than anything we saw last winter’.
A few wintry showers have continued falling across east Moray, north and east Aberdeenshire, Lewis and the far north-west of Sutherland but otherwise it has been dry.
In Badenoch and Strathspey a gloriously sunny morning has so far remained crystal clear.
“Showers will fade and any areas of cloud will thin and break and these areas will join elsewhere with plenty of susnhine.
“The winds are mostly fairly light.”
Temperatures remain zero or below for much of the mainland all day.
Mr Schofield said temperatures are to plummet later with the coldest night of the winter ahead.
He said: “It will be widely -10C to -12C inland, below -15C for the Cairngorms, inland areas of Sutherland and around Gen Affric and Glenurquhart, and the odd well sheltered spot may get down towards -20C.”
