List of 41 UK areas Met Office has issued weather warnings

The Met Office has issued further yellow weather warnings as temperatures are set to hit minus 12C.

Following the “coldest night of this winter so far” and snowfall across the UK the forecaster is warning of icy conditions that are likely to cause disruption.

This morning (Friday, November 21), a mix of rain, sleet, wet snow and small hail, will lead to wet surfaces in many places and create icy patches on the final day of the cold spell.

The Met Office predict on Friday temperatures could fall to around minus 7C in parts of England and Wales and minus 12C in Scotland. 

Snow is expected to continue to settle in Scotland, with upto 5cm falling in certain areas of the country.

In the North East there is also chance of further snowfall as ‘wintry showers will continue to feed inland from the North Sea’.

Newcastle Upon Tyne is one of the English areas that could welcome more snow, as up to 3cm is predicted. 

Amidst more snowfall and below freezing temperatures the Met Office have warned to ‘keep yourself and your family safe’ as roads and pavements are likely to be slippery.

Forecaster Simon Partridge said: “It does look like we will have the coldest night of this winter so far, widely areas are below freezing.

“And the main reason for that is we’ve got a little ridge of high pressure moving across the UK overnight tonight and basically the main difference between that and previous nights is the winds are a lot lighter.

“Friday is really the end of the really cold weather as things turn back to average by the time we get into the weekend.”

The warnings comes after schools across the nation were forced to close, roads were shut and many were left without power.
