FORECASTERS have warned that this weekend could be the coldest of the winter with temperatures feeling as low as -12C in some parts of Suffolk.

Temperatures during the day will remain similar to the past few days in which it has struggled to get above freezing point. But a bitterly cold north-easterly wind is set to make it feel much colder.

Weatherman Ken Blowers said: “The wind is going to get up which will make the wind chill very severe. The days could feel just as cold as the nights.”

Steve Western, a forecaster at Weatherquest, said it could feel as low as -12C in some parts of Suffolk.

“The wind chill is a presumed temperature. It is just how human beings feel the temperature. It is what we call the equivalent temperature. It will feel bitterly cold.”
