London: This weekend is shaping up to be quite chilly. The Met Office has issued a health alert due to the cold weather, especially for those who are more vulnerable.
They’re warning that the freezing temperatures could really affect health services. The elderly and people with health issues need to be extra careful.
Expect freezing fog and frost, with daytime highs barely reaching above freezing. It’s going to be a cold one!
On Saturday, temperatures will struggle to get above 2°C. Freezing fog might hang around, making it feel even colder.
Here’s a quick look at Saturday’s forecast: Overnight, it’ll be around -1°C to -2°C, feeling even chillier. In the morning, it’ll be a bit better, but still below zero.
By the afternoon, we might see a high of 2°C, but it’ll feel like -1°C. And in the evening, expect it to drop again to around -1°C.
Moving on to Sunday, it might warm up a bit in the afternoon, but the morning will still be frosty. Highs could reach 4°C, but don’t expect it to feel that warm.
