Loch Glascarnoch: So, it’s been pretty chilly lately, right? Amber alerts for cold weather are now in place all over England. They just extended them because it’s been freezing.
Last Sunday night was a real doozy, with temperatures dropping to -13.3C in Loch Glascarnoch. That’s the coldest night we’ve had this winter! Brrr!
Looks like this cold snap isn’t going anywhere soon. The Met Office says we’re in for more of this chilly air all week, especially after a brief warm-up in the south.
Dr. Agostinho Sousa from the UK Health Security Agency is urging everyone to check on older folks and those with health issues. Cold weather can really mess with their health, leading to heart attacks and other serious problems.
And it’s not just the cold; there are flood warnings too! The Environment Agency has issued a bunch of alerts across England, so it’s a bit of a mess out there.
Over the weekend, heavy snow caused major disruptions. Airports had to close runways, and roads were blocked with stranded cars. It’s been a wild ride!
