TEMPERATURES are likely to reach as low as -5 °C in the Cotswolds and North Wiltshire today, according to the Met Office.

A cold and frosty start with widespread frost, as well as mist and fog patches will be somewhat tempered by bright sunshine as the day unfolds, with some residents even seeing temperatures as high as 8 °C.

However, by tonight, temperatures will plummet well below freezing once again.
