UK deep freeze could last all month

Below average temps for “much of February and perhaps even into March”.

6 Feb 2018 – Commuters again faced travel delays on Tuesday, with heavy snowfall and widespread ice triggering multiple pile-ups on motorways and cancelled flights, along with warnings that Britain will be gripped by freezing weather all month.

The Met Office said a “prolonged cold period” with below average temperatures was expected for “much of February and perhaps even into March”.

Forecasters said temperatures could sink to -11C (12F) in parts of Scotland and northern England tonight, with predicted lows of -14C (6.8F) before the weekend.
