Chilly, rainy week in store for Sheffield with temperatures 'plunging' to 1C and sleet possible
Sheffield is in for a return to rainy, chillier weather this week after enjoying some of its warmest days of the year.
Much of the UK recently enjoyed a balmy few days, with temperatures peaking above 20C last Wednesday.
But Sheffield can expect a chill to set in this week, with temperatures dropping as low as 1C on some mornings, along with significant rainfall.
The Met Office describes the sudden drop as a “cold plunge,” with snow possible in some parts of England and Scotland.
