The Met Office has issued several yellow weather warnings as a cold front sweeps across the UK, bringing ice and snow. The warnings for ice are in effect for north and north-east Scotland, including Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Moray, and Highland. These warnings are active from 7pm on Monday until 10am on Tuesday. A separate yellow warning for snow will be in place across much of Scotland from 3am to 6pm on Tuesday, with forecasts predicting up to 5cm of snow. In addition, another yellow warning for ice has been issued for parts of north-east and north-west England, starting at 5am on Tuesday. Areas affected include Durham, Northumberland, Cumbria, and North Yorkshire, where temperatures are expected to drop below freezing. The Met Office's forecast indicates a cold week ahead, with snow, frost, and ice expected. "A cold week ahead with some snow, frost and ice. Some showers in the far north and near to North Sea coasts, these wintry in northern Scotland. Elsewhere mostly dry with lots of sunshine, after a frosty start for many. Cold, especially in the east where it will be breezy," the forecast states. Monday evening is expected to see showers easing, leading to a mostly dry night with clear spells and widespread frost, along with icy patches. However, conditions will turn breezy, with less cold temperatures in the northwest, accompanied by rain and snow. Tuesday's forecast predicts a bright, frosty start for many, but rain in the northwest will extend southeast throughout the day, bringing snow, particularly in the north. The day is expected to be breezy and cold. The UK Health Security Agency has also issued a cold weather warning for parts of the Midlands and northern England, effective from 8am on Monday until 8am on Friday. This alert covers the East Midlands, West Midlands, North East, North West, and Yorkshire and the Humber. The UK experienced its coldest night since March on Saturday, with temperatures plummeting to -7C in Tulloch Bridge, Highlands. Dan Holley, deputy chief meteorologist at the Met Office, explained, "As Storm Claudia retreats to the south, high pressure to the north-west will drive a cold northerly flow from the Arctic across the UK. This will bring much colder conditions than of late and, whilst generally drier than recent days, there will also be a risk of wintry hazards, such as snow and ice. There will be widespread frosts across the UK, with temperatures dipping as low as -7C in places next week, and daytime temperatures staying in single figures across the country. Couple this with a brisk northerly wind, and there will be a marked wind chill. This will be a notable change in our weather after a prolonged spell of above-average temperatures. People should keep an eye on the forecast in their area as it is possible warnings may be issued for snow and ice at times." As the cold weather sets in, residents are advised to stay informed about local forecasts and prepare for potentially hazardous conditions.
