UK weather: Snow possible in parts of country today as temperatures plummet
Amber cold-health warnings cover northern England and Scotland as temperatures drop, with up to 20 cm of snow possible and a 10% rise in vehicle breakdowns expected, RAC said.
- On Wednesday, the Met Office warned wet weather and Arctic air will cause slippery conditions with snow possible in northern parts, especially Scotland this evening and dustings in northern England.
- A cold northerly flow from the Arctic is replacing warmer, wetter conditions after Storm Claudia battered the UK and Ireland, driving a notable shift to markedly colder weather, the Met Office said.
- Snow warnings project accumulations of 2-5 cm at low levels and higher on hills as the Met Office snow warning for Wednesday and Thursday covers North East England, Scottish Borders, and Yorkshire and the Humber, with risks of snow and ice.
- The UK Health Security Agency issued amber and yellow cold-health warnings, noting risks to people over 65, while RAC anticipates about 1,000 extra breakdowns daily due to icy roads today and Friday.
- Thursday night into Friday will bring a particularly chilly night as rain sweeps across Northern Ireland, then western Scotland, Wales and England; next week will see widespread frosts and temperatures down to-7°C at Tulloch Bridge, Scotland, before milder air returns.
