Overview
- The UKHSA has a cold‑weather alert in force from 8am Monday to 8am Friday for the East and West Midlands, North East, North West, and Yorkshire and the Humber.
- The Met Office has issued a 15‑hour yellow warning for snow across large parts of Scotland on Tuesday, with 2–5cm likely above ~150m and up to 10cm above ~400m, raising the risk of travel disruption.
- Further yellow alerts include ice for Scotland and parts of northern England on Tuesday, plus snow and ice for North East England and Yorkshire & the Humber from Wednesday to Thursday, with the RAC expecting about 10% more breakdowns.
- Forecasters say a northerly flow from the Arctic will bring widespread frosts and daytime temperatures in single figures, with lows around −7°C in places; some private forecasts suggest pockets near −10°C and higher upland totals.
- Model guidance indicates snow pushing south from Scotland into northern England midweek with elevation‑sensitive accumulations, and local Met Office maps flag early‑Wednesday flurries in parts of Greater Manchester.
