Fog, sleet and snow could disrupt UK and Ireland travel for 'at least a week'

Wintry showers will bring"a risk of ice with snowfall mainly over higher ground" across parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and western England. As the evening moves on"snowfall will reach lower levels as the temperature drops".Sunday weather warning from the Met Office

The western coast of England, Wales and the north of Northern Ireland have warnings for ice on Saturday and Sunday. Travel disruption is expected to impact the working week, especially on Monday morning, and could include power cuts, problems with mobile phone coverage, and some rural communities being cut off.

The UK Health Security Agency is advising people to look out for friends and family who are vulnerable in the cold and to ensure they have access to warm food and drinks, adding that people should maintain indoor temperatures of at least 18C .Dr Agostinho Sousa, consultant in public health medicine at the agency, advised people to"keep your bedroom windows closed at night," adding that"wearing several layers of clothing will keep you warmer than one thicker layer.

Save the Children said 194 of 355 councils in England and Wales are involved in or supporting local groups to open warm spaces this winter.Millions of people cannot afford to keep warm at home, just as the winter's first major cold snap arrives, say campaigners.

Not being funny but England always do this 😂 tiniest bit of snow and they shut airports due to “heavy” snow.. bit embarassing no? 🤦🏼‍♀️

Embarrassing for a UK airport to announce this

All airports have their own met service. Theu know when snow is coming. In my time working at airports, we knew an hour before, as a minimum, but nothing was dine until the snow settled, then runways shut

Heavy snow fall. Lol.

That's not heavy snowfall, this is heavy snowfall, Stockholm late November...

HEAVY!?! are you taking the piss I've seen a heavier fall of Icing sugar than that, on a fu***ng cake!!🤣🤣

Who would have thought that the weather forecasters who said there would be snow would be ignored… someone at fault at the airport for not being prepared. Our country are a laughing joke around the world when it comes to snow…

due to the extreme cold weather 🤣🤣🤣🤣 flying to Iceland where the airport is fully open and the whole of Scandinavia operating as normal yet the U.K. has EXTREME COLD WEATHER and a runway closes pmsl 🤣🤣🤣🤣

is it winter again ?
