🌨️Parts of UK blanketed by snow as temperatures plunge to -9C overnight ahead of wintry week
Met Office meteorologist Craig Snell said the cold conditions moved in from the Arctic over the weekend. He warned commuters to leave plenty of time for their journeys due to ice on the roads.
Mr Snell said rain would clear from the south-east from 10am, and most of the nation will be dry with sunny spells through the rest of Monday. Sarah Cook, flood duty manager at the Environment Agency, said workers would continue dealing with flooding in the areas that were worst hit by the weekend deluge.
“The Environment Agency is monitoring flood levels, operating flood gates and barriers at locations across the country, and ensuring debris screens are clear from blockages to ensure communities are better protected.”Ms Cook advised people to stay away from swollen rivers and to avoid driving through floodwater. Last week’s downpours saw some roads become impassable, while rivers in Yorkshire and the South West reached critical levels.
