UK and Ireland brace for cold snap
Freezing temperatures and snow look set to hit much of the UK and possibly parts of Ireland, with the cold spell lasting for several days, the Met Office has said.
Next week many parts will see a major change to the weather as a strong northerly wind is expected to bring very low temperatures.
Heavy snow is expected in some areas, particularly Scotland and eastern areas of England, bringing hazardous conditions and disruption to travel.
Daytime temperatures will struggle to get above freezing and, with a strong, biting wind, it will feel even colder due to the wind chill factor.
The public are advised to keep in touch with local forecasts as more details on the areas likely to be most affected will be provided over the next few days.
