Met Office releases cold weather alert
A level 3, or amber, alert warns of freezing conditions between 6pm on Wednesday and 9am on Monday December 12, with social and healthcare services told to take action to protect high-risk groups.
The forecasters said that air from the Arctic will spread south across the nation, with very cold and frosty nights expected from the middle of the week. The Met Office warned said that there is a 90 per cent probability of severe cold weather and icy conditions in the specified period. "We can expect to see some snow and wintry showers further south as the week progresses, particularly in coastal areas or over higher ground," said its deputy chief meteorologist Rebekah Sherwin.
