UK weather: Snow and ice warnings for England, Scotland and NI

Heavy snow has blanketed the east and south-east of England, with forecasters warning of further showers overnight.

The Met Office said it was "bitterly cold" due to strong easterly winds and temperatures in parts of the UK would continue to remain around freezing.

An amber warning - meaning travel disruption and power cuts are likely - is in force until midday on Monday.

And less severe yellow warnings have been issued for much of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Some 14cm (5.5in) of snow was recorded at Manston, Kent, on Sunday evening, BBC Weather forecasters said.

They added that further snowfall in some eastern parts of the country could bring up to 15cm of snow on Monday, with a few lighter flurries elsewhere in the UK.

The cold snap prompted the closure of Covid vaccination centres in Essex and Suffolk on Sunday.

And Southeastern Rail strongly advised passengers not to attempt to travel on its network on Sunday or Monday.

But the severe conditions are not expected to be as widespread as 2018's Beast from the East, forecasters say.

BBC Weather forecaster Billy Payne said the cold weather would last until at least the middle of the week.

Temperatures would be below freezing during the day in some areas alongside a "severe wind chill," he said.

"It qualifies as a Beast from the East in my view - although it's not 'Beast from the East Two' since we've had a number of cold easterly spells over the years."

Forecasters had warned that Storm Darcy would bring heavy snowfall, particularly to parts of East Anglia and Kent.

Snow showers were also expected along the eastern side of England and Scotland in the coming days, with a few moving into central areas including northern England.

The amber warning - which also means disruption to gas, telephone or mobile phone coverage is likely - covers parts of Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk, Kent and Medway and lasts until midday on Monday.

Yellow warnings - meaning there could be travel disruption and a slight chance of power cuts or communities being cut off - include:

• snow in the East and South East of England and London until Monday at 06:00
• snow and ice along the entire central and eastern length of Britain until the end of Wednesday
• ice in the south east of Northern Ireland from 20:00 on Sunday, and then snow and ice from the late afternoons on Monday and Tuesday, until Wednesday

Parts of Scotland have already been hit by heavy snow, while there has been heavy rain in other areas.

In Cupar, Fife, homes have been inundated and a park flooded after the nearby River Eden burst its banks.

Glasgow City Council said it had sent out gritters on Saturday night to outlying priority routes and areas around vaccine centres.

There were 37 flood warnings across England, as of Sunday evening.

Amid the warnings of travel disruption, Southern Railway cancelled trains on two of its routes and Southeastern Rail said the Maidstone East line would be closed on Monday.

Meanwhile, Public Health England has issued a cold weather alert for the whole nation through to Wednesday.

Dr Owen Landeg said it was "crucial" people looked out for those who may be vulnerable during the current cold snap, calling on the public to make sure those at-risk have enough food and drink to stay warm and well.
