Emergency protocols are being put into place across the UK following a warning from the Met Office that the country is set to see temperatures fall from Wednesday night. According to forecasters, the UK could see temperatures drop as low as minus 10 degrees C as arctic weather moves in.

Whilst low temperatures are not unusual in December, the forecast has prompted the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) to issue its own warning advising people to stay warm and look out for those at risk from the cold temperatures.
