As our 'white Christmas' arrives after a 3-month delay, people have been urged to stay warm and check in on those most at risk from the cold ahead of the snowy spell.
Chris Almond, deputy chief meteorologist at the Met Office, said: ‘Although we’ve moved into meteorological spring there will be a distinctly wintry feel to our weather next week.
‘With freezing overnight temperatures and the risk of ice, it is likely weather warnings will be issued for Monday and Tuesday once the detail of potential impacts becomes clearer, so keep an eye on the Met Office forecast.’ The plunging temperatures are the latest cold snap to hit the UK as it battles with soaring energy bills during the cost-of-living crisis.
It advised that wearing several layers of thinner clothing will keep people warmer than wearing one thick layer, and that consuming hot food and drinks is also effective.
