The UK is bracing for extreme cold, with temperatures expected to drop to as low as minus 10°C in some areas. According to foreign news agencies, heavy snowfalls are forecasted for the weekend, with over a foot of snow expected to accumulate in parts of the country, particularly in rural areas of Scotland.
The Met Office has issued warnings for severe weather, advising citizens in England and Wales to prepare for harsh conditions through Sunday. The ongoing cold snap, coupled with the potential for heavy snow, could lead to power outages, travel disruptions, and isolated rural areas being cut off.
Flights are also likely to be affected, and some airlines have offered free rebooking options for passengers unable to travel over the weekend due to the severe weather conditions.
