London weather: Temperature plunges to -8C in capital as Met Office warns of disruptive' snow
"Temperatures have plunged to -8C in London overnight as the Met Office warned of a distinct chance disruptive snow, wind and rain could hit parts of southern England this week. And there is a possibility of snowfall sufficient to cause travel disruption on higher ground in the South on Thursday and Friday, as an Atlantic low-pressure front meets an Arctic airmass over the country."
"Forecaster Aidan McGivern said in a video posted on the Met Office's X account that there is a 20% chance the system takes a northern route, which would bring widespread disruptive wind and rain to much of England and Wales, and possibly more snow in northern England, southern Scotland and Northern Ireland. But he said there was a 30% chance that the front moves through northern France, bringing disruptive snow to southern counties in England, especially in higher areas."
"Rain turning to snow will hit Scotland and northern England on Tuesday, with 15cm likely in northern England and up to 1015cm in central and eastern Scotland, the Met Office said. Two amber snow warnings have been issued in northern parts of Scotland until Tuesday evening, while there are also yellow snow and ice warnings across southwest England, northern England, eastern England and Wales."
