Leeds snow: The exact days it will snow across the city as temperatures plummet to -4C
Bitterly cold weather will grip Leeds this weekend - with temperatures dropping as low as -4C.
Some parts of the UK have already seen as much as 10cm of snow as an Arctic blast sweeps across the country, with snowfall forecast in Leeds next week.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has issued warnings across England which are in place until 10am on January 9. The amber cold health alert means that the weather is expected to have severe impacts across health and social care services.
The alert has been issued for Yorkshire and The Humber, as well as the East Midlands, West Midlands, North East, North West, South East, South West, East of England and London.
Officials expect a rise in deaths, particularly among those aged 65 and over or with health conditions, with impacts also possible on younger age groups.
Met Office chief meteorologist Rebekah Hicks said: “Arctic air and brisk northerly winds are gripping the UK as we start the new year.
“Snow and ice warnings remain in force for many areas, with the risk of heavy snow showers, especially across northern Scotland and over higher ground elsewhere, though many inland areas will stay largely sunny and clear.
“Bitterly cold conditions will persist through the weekend and into next week, with daytime temperatures struggling to rise above freezing for some, and overnight lows dipping to minus double figures in places.
“We urge people to stay #WeatherAware, keep up to date with the forecasts and plan ahead as icy roads and slippery surfaces are likely.”
