Overview
- The Met Office issued fresh advisories, including new yellow warnings for Northern Ireland from Monday evening to Tuesday morning and an overnight snow and ice warning from just north of Glasgow into northern England until late Tuesday morning.
- Amber warnings in northern Scotland flag further heavy snowfall and drifting, with some areas forecast to add 20–30 cm as blizzard conditions remain possible.
- Severe cold has intensified, with temperatures down to −10.9C at Shap in Cumbria and snow depths reaching 52 cm at Tomintoul in Banffshire, and the Met Office warns lows could dip to around −12C overnight.
- Transport disruption widened as Network Rail Scotland said northern routes will face issues through Tuesday, flights were cancelled from Aberdeen and Inverness, Liverpool’s runway closed temporarily, Eurostar curtailed services to the Netherlands, and hundreds of schools shut or delayed opening.
- Forecasters expect a band of rain, sleet and snow to move southeast on Tuesday with a chance of further disruptive snow in central and northern Scotland, and they highlight an uncertain low-pressure track later in the week that could bring strong winds, heavy rain, or additional snow.
