With a massive 530-mile snow alert, the Met Office has issued a new yellow weather warning for British citizens.
Due to polar air migrating south, the UK is currently experiencing a very cold weather that will last into the weekend after a warm start to November.
Much of the UK has seen below-freezing temperatures this week, with lows of -11.2°C recorded at Braemar in Aberdeenshire. Watnall, Nottinghamshire, has also had a lot of snowfall, with flakes up to 12 cm deep.
Additionally, the Met Office has issued yellow warnings for more snow and wintry conditions until Sunday. Almost the entire country is currently under notice due to a new weather warning that was issued today regarding snow and ice.
The advisory, which emphasizes hazardous travel conditions, is in effect from 12 p.m. today until 10 a.m. on Saturday. “Wintry showers and icy patches are expected this evening and overnight, perhaps leading to some travel disruption,” according to the Met Office. It further states that travelers should anticipate increased travel times, the possibility of ice on untreated roadways, and the possibility of slip and fall injuries.
Friday is a day with yellow weather warnings.
“Wintry showers are expected to gradually move south this afternoon, then feed inland from the Irish Sea and North Sea coasts at times this evening and overnight, especially through the Cheshire Gap to affect parts of the Midlands and north Wales,” according to a national agency’s forecast for today.
“Where they happen, 2–5 cm of new snow may fall, most commonly on terrain higher than 100 meters. As temperatures fall below freezing, especially after any rains, icy patches are predicted to form on untreated surfaces on Thursday night and into Friday morning.
