Europe is currently in the throes of the coldest weather it has experienced in two decades, with the United Kingdom being hit hard by plummeting temperatures. The Met Office has recently issued a fresh yellow weather warning for snow and ice, covering significant portions of the country.

The areas expected to be most affected include the Midlands, Yorkshire, and north and central Wales. The Met Office predicts adverse conditions that could impact roads and railways, leading to longer journey times for those traveling by road, bus, and train.

The severe weather conditions have already taken a toll on various events, with sporting activities bearing the brunt. Manchester United’s football team, scheduled to fly to Newcastle for their upcoming game, faced a setback as their flight was canceled due to the inclement weather. As a result, the team is now compelled to travel to the north-east by coach.
