Fresh weather warnings issued as parts of UK threatened with blizzard conditions
Amber and yellow warnings cover multiple UK regions with up to 25 cm of snow expected, causing school closures, power outages, and major road shutdowns.
- On Thursday, the Met Office issued yellow ice warnings for north‑east Scotland, western Wales, south‑west England, and parts of England, with an amber snow warning for the North York Moors and parts of the Yorkshire Wolds, prompting widespread disruption.
- Overnight conditions, including clear skies, allowed temperatures to tumble, with lows down to-12C in rural Scotland, and the Met Office warned of icy stretches on untreated roads and pavements.
- On the ground, snow depths and blocked routes underscore the warnings' impact, with 9 cm recorded at Altnaharra and Loch Glascarnoch and forecasts of 2 to 5cm in low areas and 10 to 20cm on highest ground.
- The UK Health Security Agency issued cold‑health alerts until Saturday, warning elderly people and people with health conditions, while hundreds of properties in Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire lost power.
- The weekend forecast shifts to wet, windy conditions with heavy rain on Saturday, and NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde advises the public to `walk like a penguin` to prevent slips, Laura Halcrow said.
