UK Weather: Met Office issues yellow warning as cold weather is set to continue - weekend forecast

The Met Office has warned that temperatures could drop as low as -10°C as the cold weather is set to continue over the weekend and into next week. The national weather service has issued weather warnings as sleet and snow are expected to hit some areas of the UK this weekend.

Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Steve Willington, said: “It is staying cold with daytime temperatures remaining only a few degrees above freezing in many places over the coming days and overnight temperatures dropping to -10°C or lower in isolated spots. Although below average, these temperatures are not that unusual for this time of year.

“There is still a risk we could see some freezing fog in places particularly southern England, especially for Sunday and Monday mornings. And there is also a small risk of a band of sleet or snow moving into the far Southeast on Sunday. If this happens it could potentially bring some disruption, especially to rush hour on Monday. A warning has been issued.”
