Despite the sunshine, Blackburn residents should brace themselves for cold and frosty conditions as temperatures drop overnight. 

Temperatures have fallen across the UK after last night’s first widespread frost across the majority of the UK.

With highs of 4° and a low of 0° in Blackburn, residents should wrap up warm especially ahead of the Christmas light switch on taking place from 2.30pm today (November 25).

 The BBC has warned of another cold night ahead, with slight risk of some patches of fog or freezing fog forming in Lancashire.

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Dan Harris, said: “Early next week, following a brief more unsettled interlude, we expect to see a return to widely cold but quiet conditions.

“At present, the most likely outcome beyond mid-week is that rain from the west slowly moves east, with snow possible over higher ground, and a continued risk of showers over eastern parts.

“Either way, a continuation of colder than average conditions seems most likely, more details will become clear over the coming days and, as you would expect, we will be monitoring developments in the forecast closely.”
