UK to experience two days of snowfall as temperatures drop to -15°C

Hold on to your umbrellas because it’s about to get windy while the blast of Cold temps briefly becomes more mild.

As darkness and rain moved in from the west over the weekend, many areas of the Country shivered.

Altnaharra in northern Scotland experienced temperatures as low as -15.7C, while St Marys Airport on the Islands of Scilly, southwest of Cornwall, saw the highest temperature of 12.C.

The Met Office has issued yellow warnings for tomorrow and Tuesday after Storm Larisa battered parts of the UK with gales and blizzards.

Drivers were left stranded in heavy snow, while two hill-walking families in north Wales had to be rescued.

The emergency services sent teams in 4×4 vehicles to Moel Famau, a hill in the Clwydian Range between Flintshire and Denbighshire.

Visibility was down to 100m (328ft) at the time of the calls, while in Northern Ireland, rare snow rollers were spotted in a field.

The naturally-occurring phenomenon are the result of strong winds blowing across a flat, snow-covered field or hillside.
