Suffolk had its coldest January night in a decade as temperatures plummeted well below zero.

According to meteorologist Dan Holley of Weatherquest, Santon Downham recorded a low of -9.8C over Sunday night.

This reading makes last night the coldest in East Anglia since January 2013 as the region's cold snap intensified.

Elsewhere in the county, Cavendish, near Sudbury, recorded a temperature of -8.4C, just one night after its -8C reading was Suffolk's previous coldest of 2023.

 

This record comes after the Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for freezing fog on Sunday.
