Milder temperatures precede new round of cold-health alerts across UK
A brief spell of milder weather will sweep across parts of the UK before fresh cold-health alerts come into force on Sunday evening.
Following subzero temperatures that dropped to minus 7.2C in Oxfordshire, Sunday morning will bring milder air and widespread rainfall, with hail and thunderstorms possible in Wales and southern England. However, this warmth will be short-lived. The UK Health Security Agency has issued cold-health alerts starting Sunday night for the north-east and north-west of England as well as Yorkshire and the Humber, lasting until Thursday morning. As low pressure clears, colder air will move in from the north bringing a return to frost, fog, and potential high-ground snow.
