Read our privacy policy England and Wales saw this autumn's coldest night so far last night, with many people waking up to frosty fields and streets under clear skies. Winter doesn’t officially start until 1 December, this Thursday, but atmospheric conditions meant there was an increased chance to a cold start this winter, Met Office forecaster Emma Sharples told The Independent. “After we get through tonight and, for the far south, Wednesday night, we’ll see the night temperatures being a bit higher than they have been.” Scotland has been warmer than England and Wales over the last few days, with cloud cover keeping temperatures above zero last night. “By the time we get to Thursday night or Friday it will only be the extreme south with clear skies allowing heat to escape and temperatures to plummet,” said Ms Sharples.
