A cold weather alert issued by the Met Office remains in force across Devon as temperatures are set to stay chilly on Saturday.
The Level 2 alert is described as an important stage for social and healthcare services, who will be working to ensure readiness and swift action to reduce harm from the cold cold weather.
But it is less serious than the Level 3 alert issued for northern parts of England, where there is a 90 per cent probability of severe cold weather and icy conditions and possibly heavy snow until Thursday. This weather could increase the health risks to vulnerable patients and disrupt the delivery of services.
After a cold and frosty start to Saturday for many in the South West, the Met Office said wintry showers may become more prolonged for a time this afternoon, with some snow accumulations over the moors. It will feel very raw in the strong winds, with temperatures not getting above 6C.
Sleet or snow showers are likely overnight, with clear spells in between. It will be very cold with a widespread frost and ice risk away from the far South West, with temperatures dropping to freezing.
On Sunday, a few, mostly light, wintry showers are expected, but they will gradually die out as it turns brighter with sunny spells developing. Winds are likely to be a little less strong but it will still feel cold, with a very cold night on Sunday in prospect.
