Cold wave grips Britain – travel warnings issued, snowfall up to 10cm expected


#coldwave #arcticblast #snowinengland #globalwarming #climatechange The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for parts of Britain and have also cautioned against possible disruption in travels. The predictions of forecasters are heavy snow to fall across parts of Britain in the coming days. These would be accompanied by wintry showers in the north of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Expectations are of up to 5cm of snow in low-lying areas and, in higher grounds, it could be in excess of 10cm.. Obviously, such Arctic blasts will continue to pile up miseries on the people and are best examples of the effects of disturbing the ecological balance of our planet Earth by global warming.
The Met Office has also indicated strong gusty winds with poor visibility. The wintry showers would fall as hail, sleet and snow. Obviously, those who would venture out should be prepared for such eventualities.
A cold wave is sweeping through Britain and, only last week, some portions of northern England, the Midlands, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland had experienced snow and freezing conditions. As per records, the coldest temperature of the winter so far was -11.2C at Loch Glascarnoch on January 18. This was greater than the previous record low of -9C. This was on December 27 in Cromdale, Moray. Both are in Scotland.
