The weather in the UK is expected to take a turn for the worse this week. Temperatures are set to drop as low as -16°C, making it the coldest week of winter so far. It seems like Mother Nature is not done with us yet.
The recent snowstorms have caused major disruption across the country. Heavy snow has flooded many areas and caused chaos on roads and at airports. In fact, several airports have had to cancel flights due to the hazardous conditions, and many drivers have found themselves in accidents on motorways. Even the railway lines have been affected by the snow and floods.
The situation has become so severe that even the Tan Hill Inn, Britain's highest pub in North Yorkshire, has been cut off from the rest of the world. The heavy snowfall has trapped dozens of people inside, and they have run out of sausages since Saturday. It's not just the pub that is feeling the cold, as temperatures dropped to -13.3°C in parts of Scotland on Sunday night.
Unfortunately, it's not over yet. The Met Office has predicted even colder weather for Wednesday, with temperatures as low as -14°C in the North of England and -12°C in parts of Scotland. The picturesque scenes of snow-covered landscapes may be beautiful, but it's important not to underestimate the danger it brings.
On Thursday, temperatures are expected to plummet even further, with -16°C in northern England and -14°C in Scotland. The rest of the country may be slightly warmer, but still below -10°C. This extended cold spell has prompted the Met Office to issue yellow weather warnings for snow and ice, covering Northern Ireland, Scotland, North Wales, and parts of northern England.
As if that wasn't enough, there's a chance for snow in London on Wednesday, creating a North-South divide in terms of temperatures. On Thursday, temperatures are expected to range between -4°C and -16°C in different parts of the country. The Met Office's Deputy Chief Forecaster, Chris Almond, warns that Thursday night could see the lowest temperatures of the winter so far, reaching as low as -15°C in Scotland and northern England.
But there may be some relief in sight. By Sunday, milder air is expected to move in, bringing rain instead of snow. However, Northern Ireland and Western Scotland may still experience some rainy and breezy conditions, while the rest of the country can expect drier and more settled weather. It seems like this winter is not ready to let go just yet, but hopefully, things will start to warm up soon.
