Britain is bracing for a night of freezing temperatures as snowy showers sweep across the country. The Met Office has issued warnings of potential travel disruptions due to ice and snow.

Temperatures are expected to plummet further, with rural areas in Scotland possibly experiencing lows of -12C. Chief Forecaster Steve Willington stated, “We’re still in the grip of a cold, Arctic air mass today and into Friday, and that means further wintry showers for some, and ice, particularly overnight.”

Willington cautioned that as temperatures drop overnight, untreated surfaces are likely to become icy, which could lead to travel issues tonight and into Friday morning.

Multiple snow and ice weather warnings are currently in effect across the UK, urging residents to take precautions. Authorities are advising motorists and pedestrians to remain vigilant as conditions worsen.

This situation is developing, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.

Stay safe and warm as the cold weather sets in across the nation.
