The UK continues to grapple with winter weather disruptions as the Met Office issues additional snow warnings for six more regions. Icy roads and travel chaos are expected as people return to work and school after the holidays.
With the UK already facing travel disruptions due to significant snowfall, the Met Office has issued additional snow warnings for six more regions. Icy roads pose a concern as people return to work and school after the Christmas and New Year break, with numerous train services experiencing delays and cancellations, and reports of A-roads closed because of conditions including snow, flooding, or accidents.
There are weather warnings currently in effect for 12 specific areas: East England, Southwest England, North West England, London and the Southeast, the West Midlands, Wales, Grampian Highlands and Eilean Siar, Orkney and Shetland, Lothian Borders, and Northern Ireland. Met Office deputy chief forecaster Mike Silverstone commented on the situation stating: 'The low pressure that brought the snow and heavy rain in the south will move out to the east by Monday. This will allow a cold northerly flow to become established again for much of next week, reports the Mirror. 'This will bring further sleet, snow and hail showers to northern Scotland in particular, but possibly to some other areas, especially near western coasts, with a fair amount of dry and bright weather elsewhere. Temperatures will remain below average, with widespread frost and the threat of ice at times. 'Some areas, especially in the north, may struggle to get above freezing for several days.' 'There is also the potential for some snow in southern and maybe central parts of England and Wales around the middle of the week, as a system brushes the south, bumping into the cold air.' 'This is however still uncertain, and we'll continue to assess this over the coming days. Further weather warnings could be issued through next week, so do stay up to date with the forecast.' New snow and ice warnings have come into effect starting today at 3pm in Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and south-western England, with the advisory set to extend into Tuesda
