When freezing weather is set to end as Met Office issues new snow warning covering entire length of UK

Flood warnings also remain in place across England and Wales

It's awfully cold at the moment and the long johns have well and truly become part of the daily work attire.

As the UK battles through the snowy disruptions, the Met Office has continued to issue fresh weather warnings across the map.

Most of us witnessed some form of icy rainfall or snow over the weekend, which sparked two amber warnings.

It got really bad, with the likes of Manchester and Liverpool airports temporarily shutting down their runways on Sunday (5 January).

“Our runways are now open but, as a result of the earlier closure, some departures and arrivals may still experience delays,” Manchester Airport said earlier today (6 January).

“Please check with your airline for the latest flight information and allow extra time for your journey today.”

But it looks like it's going to get worse before it gets better after the Met Office issued fresh yellow weather warnings for much of the UK.

Yellow warnings suggest that the weather is likely to 'cause some low level impacts, including some disruption to travel in a few places'.

We're going to get snow and ice across most of south-west England and Wales, and parts of north-west England and the West Midlands, from Monday to Tuesday (7 January) morning.

There's also warnings in place for western and northern parts of Scotland and in Northern Ireland during that same period.

But the good news is that on Wednesday (8 January) only southern England has a snow warning and there's no warnings from Thursday (9 January) onwards.

Until Thursday though we're going to have to put up with more disruption as the Environment Agency issued 173 flood warnings and 315 flood alerts across England today.

Railway lines across the country have also been disrupted and the RAC has even said that Monday would be the busiest day of the winter so far for vehicle breakdowns.

RAC spokesman Rod Dennis said: “Today will undoubtedly be the busiest of the winter so far and our patrols are working exceptionally hard rescuing thousands of our members in difficult conditions. Waiting times will be longer as a result.

“The impact of the weather, and the fact many people are using their vehicles for the first time after a festive break, means we’re expecting to be 80% busier than normal.

“At our peak today, we will be dealing with upwards of 20 new breakdowns every minute.

“We urge drivers who know their vehicles are slow to start to book in a mobile mechanic or reliable local garage as soon as possible as it may mean a new battery is required.

“Conditions are especially challenging due to heavy rain and snowmelt causing flooding across the country.”
