The United Kingdom is bracing itself for a blast of cold arctic air that will bring plummeting temperatures and the risk of snowfall in various parts of the country

The Met Office has issued Yellow National Severe Weather Warnings for potentially disruptive snow and ice, with northern Scotland and Northern Ireland being particularly vulnerable.

Starting on Sunday, a northerly airflow will usher in the cold arctic air, leading to the likelihood of showers in some regions. The warnings cover northern Scotland for Sunday and Monday, as well as Northern Ireland for Monday. Accumulation amounts may vary, but some areas in northern Scotland could witness up to 10 centimetres of snow over the two days, with the potential for drifting snow due to strong winds.
