Hundreds of UK schools remained closed for a fourth consecutive day as the country endures a severe winter storm, with temperatures plummeting to record lows. Snow and sleet, accompanied by amber weather warnings, have significantly impacted travel and education across the nation.
The Met Office has issued multiple warnings, predicting further disruptions throughout the week. The icy conditions have forced the closure of schools due to flooding, icy surfaces, and poor visibility, leading to extended holiday periods for students.
Temperatures dipped as low as minus 16 degrees Celsius, prompting warnings for hazardous road conditions. Accumulations of snow reached 3 centimeters in East Sussex and 2 centimeters in Somerset, with colder temperatures expected overnight, potentially reaching minus 16C in parts of the UK.
Parents are urged to check their children's school websites, local council pages, and local radio stations for the latest information on school closures. A list of relevant council websites for various regions is available for convenient access. This ensures parents stay updated about the ongoing school closure situation.
