A yellow weather warning for snow is in effect, with up to 10cm expected in some areas, as temperatures drop significantly across England.
Leicestershire: So, it looks like we’re in for quite a bit of snow this Wednesday. The Met Office has put out a yellow weather warning, and they’re saying we could see up to 10cm in some spots. That’s a lot of snow, especially for southern England!
They’re predicting that between 2 to 5cm will fall pretty much everywhere, but higher ground might get hit harder. This warning is in effect from 9am until midnight, so it could really mess with travel plans.
And it’s not just the snow; it’s going to be super cold too. We’re talking about temperatures dropping to -16C in some areas, especially in the North East and Scotland. Brrr! It’s going to be one of the coldest nights of the year.
Since New Year’s Eve, flooding has been a big issue, with over 300 properties affected. The Environment Agency has been working hard to protect homes, but it’s been a tough time for many. Floods minister Emma Hardy expressed her sympathy for those impacted and thanked the emergency services for their efforts.
Right now, there are over 100 flood warnings across England, and people are being urged to stay alert. Some areas, like Leicestershire, have seen firefighters rescuing folks from their homes due to rising waters. It’s a bit chaotic out there!
With schools closed and airports like Manchester and Liverpool John Lennon suspending flights, it’s clear that this weather is causing a real stir. Stay safe and warm, everyone!
