DEMANDS for more energy support for vulnerable households intensified today as temperatures are expected to plummet this week.

Some areas rose above 16°C on Sunday, but the Met Office forecast a sharp drop by last night, with temperatures potentially plunging to -8°C in parts of Scotland.

Meteorologists warned that the cold spell would continue tomorrow, with parts of England becoming as chilly as -3°C.
