Monday was forecast to bring further cloud and occasional brighter intervals, with temperatures reaching around 10C in some locations. Mist and fog were also expected to develop overnight, particularly across inland areas and rural valleys.
Conditions were expected to become brighter from Tuesday, although some cloud and isolated showers could remain. Daytime temperatures would gradually ease, while clearer skies during the night could allow temperatures to fall towards freezing.
Wednesday was forecast to bring more sunshine across western and southern parts of the county, with daytime highs approaching 10C. However, inland locations including Alston and Penrith could experience overnight temperatures below zero.
Thursday was expected to be particularly cold overnight, with clear skies and widespread frost developing across the county. Forecast figures suggested temperatures in Alston and Penrith could fall to around -3.9C, while coastal communities remained noticeably milder.
By Friday, dry and bright conditions were expected to continue, although temperatures would remain low. Daytime highs in some coastal areas were forecast to reach around 7C, with another frosty night possible in inland locations.
The forecast highlighted a noticeable difference between coastal and inland weather. Barrow, Whitehaven and Millom were expected to remain relatively mild overnight, while higher and more exposed areas could experience sharper temperature drops, mist and frost.
