Government health bosses are warning of "severe cold" conditions that could present "health risks" to some groups of people.
The UK is set to see a temperature drop due to a northerly airmass that will likely mean snow will fall next week. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has now extended a Level 3 cold weather alert, now due to last from 00.01am on Monday (March 6) until 23.59pm on Thursday (March 9) across the north of England.
A Level 2 cold weather alert is in place for the remainder of England, for the same time period. The Met Office said there is a 90% probability of severe cold weather/icy conditions/heavy snow during these times.
