There is a risk of severe cold weather, icy conditions and heavy snow across parts of the country, according to the UK Health Security Agency.

Yorkshire and Humber regions will experience cold weather from midnight on Tuesday, January 4, to midday on Thursday, January 6 .

In Huddersfield, heavy rain is set to fall tonight with temperatures falling to 4°C. Tomorrow, temperatures will sink to as low as 0°C in the morning, although the majority of the day will have bright sunny skies cutting across the icy temperatures.

On Wednesday, temperatures will hover around 4°C and Thursday will see heavy rain with temperatures at 6°C.

Met Office Chief Meteorologist Neil Armstrong said: “Following an exceptionally mild spell, temperatures are set to drop for many in the north of England from late on Monday and into Tuesday. This drop in temperatures will spread further south later on Tuesday.

“This change is being brought on by a cold northerly flow, which brings with it the risk of some wintry showers in places in northern England, especially over high ground.

“Minimum temperatures over the next few days are expected to drop below freezing, heightening the risk of some ice formation.”
