Well, it looks like the milder weather was never going to last in Liverpool. We are now expecting a cold snap, with A yellow Cold-Health Alert issued by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) for the South East of England, and parts of northern England.
Apparantly, the wind is what’ making it worse, as the temperatures in Liverpool are set to be as high as 9 degrees during the day on Sunday, February 9. However, the real feel of the cold is much lower due to “cold, east or southeasterly air-flow across the UK”.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Paul Gundersen, said: “While some areas will see showers or some patchy rain on Friday and through the weekend, there will be the potential for some sleet or snow as temperatures drop, mostly over higher ground in central and southern areas. The cold will be accentuated at times by brisk easterly winds.
“There will be variable, and at times large amounts of cloud over the coming days with the clearest and sunniest weather across the northwest of the UK. There will also be icy patches and overnight frost in places. Whilst, for most, the weather is not expected to be disruptive, keep an eye on the Met Office website for any National Severe Weather Warnings.”
When is the yellow Cold-Health Alert in place?
It is currently in place from 9am on Friday, February 7 until 9am on Tuesday, February 11. So, wrap up well and stay warm out there, folks!
