Temperatures are set to plunge as we move towards December, with a chilly week predicted for Kent.

Forecasters say there’s a risk of overnight frosts from Tuesday, when there will be “colder-than-average” conditions.

By next Saturday, daytime temperatures across Kent are set to plunge to around 2C.

Residents in Sevenoaks are likely to feel the chilliest, with warnings it will feel more like -4C in the wind.

Met Office meteorologist Greg Dewhurst said: “Overall, there is generally a cold week to come.

“There is the potential even for some hill snow in the northern parts of the country as we move through the latter part of Wednesday into Thursday.”

He said there is also a risk of overnight frosts from Tuesday onwards, with a “continuation of colder-than-average” conditions likely to continue.
