Read our privacy policy A cold weather alert is being issued ahead of wintry showers and freezing temperatures expected across England next week. Weather warnings are likely from the start of next week due to the expected conditions, according to the Met Office. “If you have a pre-existing medical condition or are over the age of 65, it is important to try and heat your home to at least 18C if you can.” Chris Almond, deputy chief meteorologist at the Met Office, said: “Although we’ve moved into meteorological spring there will be a distinctly wintry feel to our weather next week. “With freezing overnight temperatures and the risk of ice, it is likely weather warnings will be issued for Monday and Tuesday once the detail of potential impacts becomes clearer, so keep an eye on the Met Office forecast.” The plunging temperatures are the latest cold snap to hit the UK as it battles with soaring energy bills during the cost-of-living crisis.
