Met Office has provided an update on how long the abnormally cold weather sweeping across the UK will last.
According to expert forecasters, icy conditions with overnight double-digit sub zero temperatures in some places across the country will last for at least a week. It comes after Wednesday's yellow ice weather warning was extended into Friday, covering coastal and northern parts of England.
It is understood that arctic air will rapidly move south on Wednesday, sweeping most of the country with unusually cold conditions for this time of year. However, the Met Office has noted that there will be no hard snow with more wintry showers to be expected during the cold spell.
