## Summary

A cold spell brought the UK’s lowest temperatures of the year so far, with forecasters warning of a heavy frost after overnight readings fell close to -7C. The shift to colder weather matters for people at risk from the cold, with the first yellow cold-health alerts of the season issued for two regions.

Sennybridge in Wales recorded -6.6C, while Shap in Cumbria and Eskdalemuir in Dumfries and Galloway reached -6.5C. Saturday was expected to bring rain and showers in many areas, with dry, frosty spells in central and eastern England; milder conditions were forecast for Sunday, though rain, sleet and possible snow could affect northern Scotland, especially higher ground.
