The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has cautioned that vulnerable groups, including older people and those with pre-existing health conditions, are particularly at risk.
Residents are urged to take precautions to stay warm and safe during this period, including keeping homes heated to at least 18C and wearing warm clothing.
The cold weather is likely to lead to increased use of healthcare services, and in some cases, could pose a risk to life.
Health services are expected to feel extra impact during this period, highlighting the importance of awareness and preparedness for the vulnerable population.
