A northerly airflow will bring cold arctic air to the UK from Sunday and into early next week, with snow showers possible across the country.

The UK Health Security Agency has a Cold-Health Alert in force, which highlights that possibility of significant impacts for the health and social care sector.

According to the Met Office, the weekend will be largely cool and dry, with sub-zero temperatures overnight for many.

Frosts are expected and temperatures will get cooler throughout the weekend and into next week.

The Met Office predicts that with cool conditions and the potential for snow and ice for some from Sunday onwards, travel plans could be impacted.
