UK To Shiver As Sub-Zero Temperatures Bite

The Met Office has issued a level three cold weather alert for much of the UK, with warnings of plummeting temperatures, snow and ice.

Amber watch levels are in place for northeast and northwest England, as well as Yorkshire and the Humber as temperatures are set to fall to as low as -8C from Friday into the weekend.

"Be aware" warnings for ice and snow are also in place across Wales, the West Midlands, northwest, and west and northwest Scotland.

Sky News weather producer Rebecca Yussuf said: "It will turn much colder across the UK and Ireland over the next few days, with the return of widespread sharp frosts by night.

"Temperatures over the snowfields in Scotland will fall to lows of -8C (18F), whilst southern England and Wales will see lows of -4C (25F).

"There'll be a widespread frost each night, with icy stretches forming on untreated surfaces.

"Most places will also see a drop in day-time temperatures, with parts of Scotland remaining sub-zero over the weekend and into the first part of next week.

"Monday looks to be the coldest day, with temperatures struggling to get much above 2C (36F) and winds making it feel even colder.

"The cold weather will be accompanied by wintry showers, bringing the risk of hail, sleet and snow just about anywhere over the next few days, although coastal areas will mostly see rain."

Dr Angie Bone of  Public Health England's extreme events team urged people to help vulnerable family and friends to keep warm.

"Cold does kill, even in places where the temperatures aren't at their lowest. Most of our advice on keeping warm in cold weather may seem like common sense, but it's important that we make the point that people should think about how cold can affect them.
