#AceBreakingNews – Regular updates on cold weather and how to stay well during low temperatures as UKHSA extends cold weather alert in all regions of England

Further to the cold weather alert issued on 9 December, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is continuing to encourage people to stay warm and look out for those most at risk as freezing conditions persist across the country.

The Met Office is warning that all regions of England will continue to experience cold weather from 9am on Wednesday 14 December to midday on Sunday 18 December.

Dr Agostinho Sousa, Head of Extreme Events and Health Protection at UKHSA, said:

As this period of cold weather persists throughout the rest of the week, it is important to check in on the wellbeing of those most vulnerable to the cold, including those over the age of 65 and those with pre-existing medical conditions.

Try to heat the rooms you use the most to at least 18°C if you can and keep your bedroom window shut at night.

Paul Gundersen, a Chief Forecaster at the Met Office, said:

Over the last week, the UK has been in a northerly airflow bringing cold, sometimes Arctic air, to the UK.

We will still have this northerly influence to our weather patterns until the weekend, but then the cold conditions will lose exclusive dominance over the UK’s weather and we will move into a more changeable regime with relatively mild and relatively cold conditions vying for supremacy.

Further to the cold weather alert issued on 5 December, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is again encouraging people to stay warm and look out for those most at risk as freezing conditions persist across the country.

The Met Office is warning that all regions of England will continue to experience cold weather from 9am on Friday 9 December to 9am on Friday 16 December.

Steve Willington, Chief Meteorologist at the Met Office, said:

It is staying cold with daytime temperatures remaining only a few degrees above freezing in many places over the coming days and overnight temperatures dropping to -10°C or lower in isolated spots. Although below average, these temperatures are not that unusual for this time of year.

There is still a risk we could see some freezing fog in places particularly southern England, especially for Sunday and Monday mornings. And there is also a small risk of a band of sleet or snow moving into the far south-east on Sunday. If this happens it could potentially bring some disruption, especially to rush hour on Monday. A warning has been issued.

5 December 2022: UKHSA issues cold weather alert for England

With low temperatures and potentially severe overnight frosts forecast across all parts of England from Wednesday, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is encouraging people to stay warm and look out for those most at risk from the effects of cold weather.

The Met Office and UKHSA are warning that all regions of England will experience severe cold weather starting on the evening of Wednesday 7 December.

Dr Agostinho Sousa, Consultant in Public Health Medicine at UKHSA, said:

Cold weather can have serious consequences for health, and older people and those with heart or lung conditions can be particularly at risk.

If you have a pre-existing medical condition, you should heat your home to a temperature that is comfortable for you. Try to heat the rooms you use most, such as the living and bedroom, to at least 18°C if you can and keep your bedroom windows closed at night.

Temperatures will start to dip this week, with daytime temperatures struggling to get above freezing in many places from mid-week onwards. However, the cold air from the Arctic will also bring brighter conditions, with some dry, sunny spells in many areas, particularly away from the coast.

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Rebekah Sherwin, said:

UKHSA has supplemented the cold weather plan for England with useful resources and advice on the risks of cold weather and tips for staying warm and well this winter.

For people struggling to afford heating bills, Simple Energy Adviceprovides free advice on energy efficiency and national grants that are available to help keep you warm this winter.

If people can’t heat all the rooms they use, it’s important to heat the living room during the day and the bedroom just before going to sleep. Wearing several layers of thinner clothing will keep you warmer than one thicker layer. Having plenty of hot food and drinks is also effective for keeping warm.
