London: The biting cold is finally easing up! BBC Weather is saying we could see temperatures hit 9C next week, which is a nice change from the chill we’ve been feeling lately.
This cold snap has been no joke, with the Met Office reporting it felt as low as -3C recently. The UK Health Security Agency even extended its amber weather warning until Tuesday morning, reminding us to keep an eye on those who might be vulnerable, like the elderly.
Dr. Agostinho Sousa from UKHSA mentioned that the cold weather can really affect health, especially for folks over 65 or those with existing health issues. So, it’s super important to check in on friends and family who might need a little extra care.
Even the fountains in Trafalgar Square froze up! The London Fire Brigade has been busy too, responding to calls about dogs getting stuck on frozen lakes. They’ve urged pet owners to keep their dogs on leads and to avoid going onto the ice to rescue them. If your dog gets into trouble, it’s best to call 999.
So, what’s the weather looking like for next week? Here’s a quick rundown:
- Monday, January 13: High 6C, low 1C. Expect some sunny intervals and light winds.
