Government health chiefs are warning people to protect themselves and look out for those "most at risk" after the Met Office issued a rare amber cold weather alert with "severe conditions".
The weather warning is a level 3, or amber, cold weather alert. Severe conditions are expected across England, including in Liverpool, between 6pm Wednesday and 9am on Monday December 12. Now the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is warning all regions in England that the cold weather can have "serious consequences for health".
Part of a Gov.uk update on Monday said: "Older people and those with heart or lung conditions can be particularly at risk. If you have a pre-existing medical condition, you should heat your home to a temperature that is comfortable for you.
