Cold weather warning issued as temperatures plunge to below zero
Dr Agostinho Sousa, consultant in public health medicine at UKHSA, said: "Cold weather can have serious consequences for health, with older people and those with heart or lung conditions particularly at risk.
"It's important to check in on family, friends and relatives who are more vulnerable to the cold weather. If you have a pre-existing medical condition or are over the age of 65, it is important to try and heat your home to at least 18C if you can." David Oliver, a deputy chief forecaster at the Met Office, said: "From Sunday and into early next week an area of high pressure will dominate the UK's weather.
"This will bring some cold nights with a widespread frost across the country. However, by day temperatures will recover to around mid-single figures, near normal for the time of year." Look out for others as the cold weather can have serious consequences for health, and older people and those with heart and lung conditions can be particularly at risk.
