Mansfield weather: It's freezing in the South and mild in northern Scotland . . . this is where Mansfield and Ashfield sit in the national picture

With the UK experiencing some pretty variant weather today, this is where Mansfield and Ashfield sit as part of the national picture.

It’s a day of extremes with parts of southern England seeing lows of -9C today, forecasters are warning - as the UK experiences an unusual divide in the weather.

But not everyone is shivering through January.

A change in wind direction means it is pretty mild in Scotland, and temperatures could reach 12C or 13C in Aberdeenshire later today.

The rest of the week will see a relatively similar picture, with highs of 10C tomorrow and lows of 2C on Thursday, but expect today to see the last of the sunshine until next week.
