Schools across the country are closed today following fresh snowfall last night.
Several weather warnings remain in place today, including four for snow and ice and one for ice, as temperatures have again plummeted overnight. Forecasters had anticipated the mercury would sink to as low as -15C in the early hours of Thursday morning.
And an amber weather warning for snow ended at 9pm last night for most of Southwest of England. It means schools, particularly in this region, are at risk of closing today – and children will excitedly be awaiting their school or local authority’s big decision this morning.
A cluster of schools in Devon, a county hit heavily by snow last night, are closed today. Castle Cary Primary School in Somerset confirmed last night its boiler has broken, thought to be as a result of the weather, so it is closed today. However, most schools in nearby Bristol have beaten the freeze to be able to open, the council’s website indicates.
A raft of schools across Yorkshire, notably in Bradford, are closed – use your local authority’s website to check if yours is open today. Families are advised to use the government’s tool – which collates such data – to find out if their school is open. You just need to enter your postcode in the toolbar here.

Exact temperatures recorded overnight across the UK are yet to be collated and shared by the Met Office. It has, though, confirmed the mercury fell to -8.4C in Shap, Cumbria, before 11pm on Wednesday. It was also -7.4C in Topcliffe, North Yorkshire, and -7C in Drumnadrochit, Scottish Highlands.
Speaking on Wednesday morning, Met Office Chief Meteorologist Steve Willington said: “With low temperatures persisting across southwestern parts of England, sleet or snow will fall to low levels in parts of Devon, Cornwall, Dorset and Somerset through Wednesday afternoon and evening.
“At locations above 150 m, 2-5 cm is possible, but over the higher ground of Dartmoor and Exmoor up to 10 cm could accumulate. More widely across southern England, a dusting of snow, up to a couple of centimetres, is possible as the system moves eastwards. The snow could cause some disruption to the transport network during this evening’s rush hour.”
Ice will be particularly dangerous across Southwest of England today, as surfaces may be untreated in rural areas. Once these freeze, ice will present a hazard for those travelling, including on foot and in cars, throughout today’s morning rush hour.
