UK is 'in the grip of a cold Arctic air mass' - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
"We're still in the grip of a cold, Arctic air mass today and into Friday, and that means further wintry showers for some, and ice, particularly overnight. Multiple warnings are currently in place, with new warnings for the overnight period issued. Temperatures will fall sharply again tonight, with lows potentially reaching -12°C in rural parts of Scotland and widely below freezing elsewhere. As temperatures fall overnight, ice will form on untreated surfaces and may cause some travel disruption tonight and into Friday morning."
"Last night saw the coldest night of the season so far for Northern Ireland, England and Wales, with widespread sharp frosts under clear skies. An Amber Cold Health Alert issued by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) also remains in force, focusing on impacts for health and social care in England. Things will be drier for many by Friday, with temperatures gradually turning milder and rain reaching the west later in the day."
