Scotland to face 'wet and windy' January weather as cold snap comes to an end

dailyrecord.co.uk:

After weeks of bone-chilling temperatures, travel chaos and slippery surfaces, it looks like the cold snap in Scotland could be coming to an end.

December saw record-breaking lows of -15.7 degrees in Braemar, with much of the country being blanketed in snow and ice for days at a time.

But now, due to a jet stream of milder air coming in from North America, it appears as though the extreme cold is over and January's weather will be more typical - very wet and windy, according to the Met Office.

This week, the weather sweeping towards the UK will originate from the south and west rather than east, bringing rain instead of snow.
