Cold Conditions for the UK


As we are having above average conditions in the QCA, our friends across the Atlantic are prepping for some colder weather. Parts of the UK are forecasted to have temperatures dropping into teens and blustery winds for the next few days. A high pressure system over Scandinavia is pushing very cold winds into the UK. The weather service has put out a level 3 severe weather warning, which prompts the military to get involved to clean roads and keep citizens safe and warm. This bout of cold weather is predicted to continue through the entire month of February. Forecasters have also predicted a few inches of snow to fall in the coming days.

The cold weather in eastern Europe has already killed 36 people with temperatures in the negative teens. This cold spell can potentially upset one of the UK's warmest winters on record. Due to the cold weather, countries in eastern Europe have had to close schools, block roadways, and loose power.

So enjoy the nice temperatures and sunny skies!
