UK weather: Met Office warns of SNOW as temperatures plunge to -7C amid FIVE ‘risk to life’ yellow health alerts THE Met Office has warned of snow after temperatures plunged to -7°C last night.
Yellow cold health alerts have been issued by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) for a number of areas across England including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, and the South East from 9am on Friday until 9am on Tuesday.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Paul Gundersen, said: "While some areas will see showers or some patchy rain on Friday and through the weekend, there will be the potential for some sleet or snow as temperatures drop, mostly over higher ground in central and southern areas.
This will be accompanied by some light rain and hill snow early next week, mainly in the south of the UK, before drier conditions become established later in the week.
A colder easterly regime has established across the country bringing easterly winds, low temperatures and an increasing risk of wintry hazards like snow and ice.
