Temperatures dropped to as low as -9.7C in Worcestershire this week say the Met Office.

That was the lowest temperature recorded throughout the county as, like much of the UK, it was hit by a cold weather front. 

Data provided by the Met Office shows the 10 lowest temperatures throughout what they call Hereford & Worcester across the week.

According to the data, Pershore hit the lowest temperatures on January 18 (Thursday), dropping to a bitter -9.7c. 

Pershore was closely followed by Shobdon Airfield in Leominster, which recorded a temperature of -7.5c.

Next was Pershore College, which recorded -7.4c on the same day. Ross-on-Wye was the same temperature on the same day. 

Pershore was cold again at -7.3c on Friday, January 19, Astwood bank, Redditch, was -7c on Thursday, January 18, while Shobdon Airfield was -6.7c on Thursday. 

Hereford, Credenhill was -6.6c on both Thursday and Friday. 

Gritters have been out on Worcestershire's roads in recent days to ensure the frosty weather does not endanger road users in the region.
