This month to be one of the five coldest Januarys

THIS month is expected to be one of the five coldest Januarys on record, according to forecasters, as some parts of the country experienced the coldest December for nearly 30 years.

The crisp, cold weather of Christmas is set to continue into the new year, with temperatures dipping to a minus five degrees some nights over the month, according to Weatheraction.

“It will be one of the five coldest Januarys on record,” said Weatheraction director Piers Corbyn.
