The Met Office and the UK Health Security Agency have issued a warning about cold weather throughout England. Originally, an amber weather alert was set for January 14 to January 18, but it has now been extended to include Friday, January 19, and Saturday, January 20.
The extension of the alert, which will last until midday tomorrow, highlights the risk to vulnerable individuals, particularly those over 65, as maintaining indoor temperatures at the advised 18C may be challenging. According to the latest update, strong winds are expected today, with a heavy frost forecast for Saturday morning. In London, the temperatures are anticipated to feel as low as -5C today.
