Sussex has been hit with almost a week of freezing cold air being blown in from the Arctic and Scandinavia over the North Sea, dubbed as the second "Beast from the East".

However, after a notably cold and snowy spell, milder conditions are on the horizon.

Chief Meteorologist at the Met Office Neil Armstrong said: “For the past week the UK has been in a very cold airmass with temperatures well below average.

"This will change through the weekend as milder air moves in from the Atlantic and pushes that cold airmass out into the North Sea.

"Where temperatures were close to freezing in many places last week, we could expect to see 11°C or 12°C next week."
