Britain freezes as icy weather 'could last a month'
By Beth Curtis
Britain is set for a cold snap, as Arctic air sweeps the country this weekend
(January 28th) and could continue to freeze for up to a month.
Temperatures are set to plummet to as low as -5 degree C, breaking the
persistently mild conditions that have been seen so far this winter.
The Department of Health has stepped in to warn residents to take precautions
against the chill, with a England-wide level 2 cold weather health warning
being issued for 18:00 GMT Sunday January 29th to 09:00 GMT Tuesday January
31st.
Forecasters had predicted hail and wintry showers yesterday, but no significant
snowfall was seen.
Commenting on the outlook, Sky News weather presenter Jo Wheeler said: "It
looks as though a high pressure system over north-eastern Europe is going to
feed Arctic air into Britain over the next few days.
"How long this cold snap will last is largely dependent on the drift of that
high pressure system. If it edges north, then it could bring some sustained
wintry weather to central and eastern parts of the country."
This winter has been a stark contrast to the winter of 2010/2011, when
persistent snowfall and treacherous conditions brought much of the country to a
standstill.
