Thousands of 'warm banks' are open across the UK to help people keep warm if they cannot afford to heat their homes.
Freezing fog, sleet and snow could bring travel disruption to parts of the UK during the coming days, the Met Office has warned.The western coast of England, Wales and the north of Northern Ireland have warnings for ice on Saturday and Sunday.Scotland, apart from the southwest, has a yellow warning for snow and ice covering Saturday and Sunday.
Met Office chief meteorologist Steve Willington said:"It is staying cold with daytime temperatures remaining only a few degrees above freezing in many places over the coming days and overnight temperatures dropping to -10C or lower in isolated spots."There is still a risk we could see some freezing fog in places particularly southern England, especially for Sunday and Monday mornings."There is also a small risk of a band of sleet or snow moving into the far southeast on Sunday.
"If you have a pre-existing medical condition, you should heat your home to a temperature that is comfortable for you. The Warm Welcome Campaign said many of these are a third or half full and offer services including hot tea and a place to work.
