Frost is expected to become widespread across Wiltshire on Wednesday 11 November and Friday 13 November, with temperatures dropping to minus 1°C at night.

Wiltshire residents have been warned to expect freezing temperatures over the next couple of nights, with the Met Office forecasting widespread frost on Wednesday 11 November and Friday 13 November. Temperatures are expected to dip below the November average, reaching as low as minus 1°C at night. Frost is expected on cars and roads throughout Wiltshire and Swindon over the next few nights.

Conditions are expected to be mostly dry across the county, with sunny spells continuing throughout the week. Friday 13 November will start clear and cold, with temperatures around minus 1°C in the morning, rising to around 6°C by afternoon. Saturday 14 November will also start cold with temperatures around minus 1°C, reaching around 8°C by afternoon. Sunday 15 November will see light rain develop from 6am, with temperatures reaching around 10°C to 11°C during the day.

The Met Office has attributed the sudden change to unsettled weather patterns over the Atlantic. Following this week's foggy start, cold weather is expected to spread south across the UK.

Temperatures should rise next week as warmer air is brought in from the Atlantic. Conditions will often be mild, with temperatures near or slightly above the average for the time of year. Monday 16 November onwards is expected to see a gradual warming trend, with increased cloud and rainfall becoming more likely as the week progresses.
