"It is going to be a very cold few days, that is for sure.

"Temperatures have not dropped as quickly as we were expecting but they will still fall.

"Temperatures will be as cold as -5C or -6C across Devon and -4C in Cornwall on Monday night.

"The next couple of days we will see lows of -4C or -5C most nights".
