London, Thanasis Gavos
Yellow warning for snowfall and frost from Monday night issued by the British Met Office for most of the UK.
The warning covers central and south-east England, including London, as well as Wales, while an earlier warning was issued for Scotland, Northern Ireland and north-east England, where the effects are expected to be more severe.
This could potentially be the most severe winter weather the Central Belt has experienced since the Beast From The East in 2018. But again, I stress, this is four/five days away and things are likely to change. #uksnow pic.twitter.com/ML70h89xjE

In some parts of Scotland the snow is estimated to can reach 30 cm, while in the rest of the country two centimeters.
Temperatures in northern Scotland could drop below -10C, while in England the mercury will be around zero.
The worsening weather is due to an arctic air mass moving south.
Cold, arctic air will be in place right across the UK on Tuesday but by the evening, milder and wetter air wants to push in to the SW.
Bumping into colder air, this will bring the risk of snow.
