'Scandinavian high' warning as snow hits parts of UK and temperatures fall to -6C Snow has hit parts of the country - with the spell of cold weather set to continue as an area of high pressure over Scandinavia brings freezing winds to the UK.
The winds should ease off a little bit for parts of Wales, and central and southern England but it really is still going to have quite a keen breeze across Scotland into parts of northern England and Northern Ireland as well - so another very cold day to come.".
"But temperatures for most of us are going to be struggling around 5C to 6C - once we add to the strength of that easterly wind, it's going to feel even colder than that - closer to freezing for the vast majority of us," he said.
A yellow cold health alert has been issued by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) for the southeast of England and parts of northern England and remains in place until 9am on Tuesday.
Because that is coming in from the North Sea, it's filtering in a lot of moisture and we are seeing a lot of cloud kick off this new week," Met Office meteorologist Jonathan Vautrey said.
