Weather warnings as Siberian blast hits UK

Snow is falling as bitterly cold temperatures are forecast across the UK as weather blows in from Russia.

A wind chill will mean that during the day it will feel like -10C to -15C.

Yellow and amber weather warnings for snow are in place for Monday and Tuesday, covering southern and eastern England before extending to cover the Midlands, Scotland and Wales.

Wednesday and Thursday's yellow warnings will also cover Cornwall, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

By Wednesday night, more than 20cm of snow could have accumulated in some parts of eastern England and Northern Ireland, say forecasters.
