The UK Health Security Agency has issued a yellow cold-weather alert for northern regions of England, as temperatures are expected to plunge to as low as -8C in Scotland and -5C in parts of the East. This alert will remain in place until the end of the week.
The Met Office has also warned of snow showers this week in Scotland and the North East of England, with the possibility of some snow falling in the South East. Oli Claydon from the Met Office said that, while there may not be significant snow accumulation on the ground, it is important for people to check the weather before travelling.
The rest of the UK will also feel the chill with temperatures ranging from 2-7C - below average for this time of year. Londoners can expect lows of 0-1C throughout the week.
Aside from the snow and frost later in the week, rain showers will hit the North and East on Monday night. This will be followed by sunny spells and showers on Tuesday and Wednesday, and the weather is set to become more unsettled with wintry showers in the North and some rain in the South.
The UKHSA has urged vulnerable and elderly people with health conditions to remain aware of the cold weather, as it could put them at risk. So, if you are in a Northern region of England, be sure to wrap up warm this week and check the weather before you head out.
