A yellow cold health alert from the UK Health Security Agency is in force across the north
Actual temperatures will be above 0C over the coming days - but a brutal easterly wind is bringing a blast of chilly air to the region. That will make the temperature feel far lower, often hitting freezing, according to the Met Office.
The temperature in Greater Manchester this evening is hovering around 4C, but feels like 0C because of wind gusts reaching up to 25mph. On Friday, temperatures are again expected to feel freezing until mid-morning, with actual temperatures around 2C and 3C, says the Met Office. Across the rest of the north west, the forecaster warns of early patchy rain and hill snow gradually easing on Tuesday, with some drier interludes.
