The Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings for snow and ice across the UK as an Arctic chill approaches, with temperatures dropping to as low as -12°C in Scotland. Friday is expected to be one of the coldest days, particularly in London where up to 5cm of snow may fall. The cold weather is predicted to persist into the New Year, leading to widespread travel disruptions and winter hazards. As the polar air affects the region, more snow and ice warnings are likely to be issued.
