Britain’s recent Arctic temperatures are about to grow more mild — but the Met Office has warned that winds are set to strengthen. After a dry start to today (Sunday), forecasts indicate that rain will spread across most parts of the UK.
The Met Office issued a yellow warning overnight on Saturday for snow and ice in parts of northern England and Scotland. Earlier on Saturday, many parts of the country shivered through another freezing day, with cloud and rain spreading in from the west.
Temperatures fell as low as minus 15.7C in Altnaharra in northern Scotland on Saturday, while the highest temperature of 12.C was recorded at St Marys Airport on the Isles of Scilly, south west of Cornwall. The Met Office had yellow warnings in place covering large swathes of the country after Storm Larisa battered parts of the UK with gales and blizzards.
