Weather warning as Met Office predicts when temperatures will plunge - Liverpool Echo

More cold weather could be on the way soon as temperatures are set to plunge.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) previously issued a Level 3 alert from 1am Monday, March 6 until midnight on Thursday, March 9 due to a drop in temperature. A Level 2 cold weather alert is in place for the remainder of England, for the same time period.

UKHSA guidance states: "This weather could increase the health risks to vulnerable patients and disrupt the delivery of services."

The Met Office has issued warnings for parts of England for snow and ice which is expected to bring some disruption. The forecaster states: "The snow showers will predominantly impact northern and eastern areas, however, it will be cold across the UK, with widespread freezing conditions overnight."

The Met Office warns that the wintry conditions are likely to be felt from Sunday evening with "patchy frost" expected. On Monday it predicts: "Cold and windy with sunny intervals and snow and hail showers in north."

For Tuesday through to Thursday, it states it will be "very cold" with some snow showers expected. Liverpool could see temperatures drop to 0C with highs of 4C on Tuesday, however it will likely feel closer to -2C, the Met Office suggests.

Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Chris Almond, said: "Very cold air will spread across the UK from late on Sunday through early next week. This brings with it snow even to low levels in the north and east through Monday and Tuesday, and in excess of 10cm could accumulate, most likely on high ground in the north, but also settling for a time at lower levels.

"With freezing overnight temperatures and the risk of ice, there’s a risk of some travel disruption and wintry hazards are likely to persist through much of next week, even further south for a time, so keep an eye on the Met Office forecast for the latest information."
