The forecast is much the same across the country, with other regions expected to have lows of -5 with more wintry showers expected. The Met Office said: "Wintry showers overnight and early Friday may lead to some difficult driving conditions and travel disruption."
While BBC forecaster Chris Fawkes said: "We’ve got showers mainly affecting northern areas particularly in Scotland where some are falling as snow particularly over the high ground, bringing a risk icy stretches and a widespread frost as well. So it’s a cold start as we head into the first part of Friday morning."
Fawkes added: "A lot of us will start the day with some sunshine, cold and frosty first thing in the morning. There will be widespread showers and thunderstorms that then move in across Scotland and Northern Ireland through the morning and across into northern England and North Wales. The showers really widespread across these areas, they will have hail and they will have thunder mixed in."
