You may have seen from news reports leading to Donald Trumps is inauguration on Monday, likely the coldest presidential inauguration day in recent history - seems it is so cold the event may have to be moved inside. America is experiencing very cold weather right now with some parts of the United States seeing windchills down to minus 45C, with warnings of hypothermia and frostbite for anyone outdoors.
The big freeze is sweeping down from the Arctic, driven by the polar vortex, the whirlpool of bitterly cold air in the stratosphere. The polar vortex being squeezed between high-pressure systems in the Pacific and over the UK and Europe, which is pulling Arctic air down into the US, even as far south as the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.
We might think that this freezing weather in the US is too remote to have much impact on the UK and Europe but there is a knock-on effect. The cold air will soon move from North America into the Atlantic and it will clash with sub-tropical air, resulting in a very strong surge in the jet stream which will eventually push away the high pressure that has dominated the UK and Europe with settled, quiet weather we have had over the last week. That will allow unsettled conditions with wind and rain to arrive later this coming week. There have been stories in some red top newspapers of very cold weather hitting the UK next week, "A wall of snow"! - but there is only a small chance of that - But we have got change coming - some storms on the way later in the week as this calm, weather will be pushed away!...

..Met Office - Longer Range Forecast, for the entire UK   Met Office.:
.............Saturday 25 Jan - Monday 3 Feb
This looks like being and unsettled and disturbed period of weather across much of the country, but especially for northern and western parts, with southern and eastern areas probably missing the worst of the conditions a lot of the time. Over the weekend, after Friday's deep low and associated stormy weather, another system looks likely to move towards the UK from the Atlantic, driven in by the strong jet stream. There is the potential for further weather warnings or even a named storm at some point. Temperatures overall, are likely to end up being around normal or slightly above average, though given the strength of wind at times, it probably won't feel especially mild, especially when it's raining too.
Tuesday 4 Feb - Tuesday 18 Feb
Generally mild at first, with periods of rain, showers and strong winds, alternating with short-lived brighter and cooler interludes, but with time these should become increasingly confined to northern parts. Pressure may build across southern areas, which would result in longer drier and more-settled spells here, albeit with an increased chance of overnight fog and frost with temperatures falling correspondingly...............................
