The Met Office has issued weather warnings for snow and ice across the UK spanning more than 800 miles.

Stretching from the tip of northern Shetland to Maldon in Essex, the yellow warnings threaten to see much of the country’s east coast covered in a blanket of frost, with snow expected to settle in parts of Scotland and on higher ground in England. Parts of Northern Ireland and southwest England are also expected to see icy conditions.

The forecaster’s Chief Meteorologist Neil Armstrong said: “We’ve already seen snow settling in parts of eastern Scotland and northeastern England. As the cold air continues to spread across the UK we also expect to see some snow over the high ground of southwest England [today].

“Snow showers will continue along the North Sea coast with a northeasterly air flow, leading to further accumulations over higher ground. Where the showers fall as rain there is a risk of icy patches forming overnight with temperatures widely dipping below freezing.”

Armstrong also urged Brits to continue to check the forecast for their area and said weather warnings would be updated throughout the rest of the week.

One of the weather warnings, affecting the largest part of the country, will remain in place until 11am tomorrow (Friday, December 1). Another in southwest England is in place until 4pm today.

The news comes after odds were slashed for the UK to see record low temperatures today. Bookies atWilliam Hill have now made it an even-money chance for Brits see a chill of -10.4C or lower.

The last time temperatures sunk this low was on January 19, when the record was set for 2023 in Drumnadrochit, near Inverness. Lee Phelps, spokesperson for William Hill, said: "With reports a serious cold snap is expected to hit the UK before November is out, we are even-money about the mercury falling lower than this year’s record of -10.4C."

If the predictions were to come true, the UK would be colder than Iceland – which is expecting lows of -3C today.

The joint record for the all-time lowest temperature in British history were set in on January 10, 1982 and December 30, 1995, when the mercury dipped to a bone-chilling -27.2. Unsurprisingly both records were set in Scotland – the first in Braemar and the second in Altnaharra.
