Current alert level: Level 2 - Alert and Readiness

Issued at: 0836 on Mon 3 Dec 2012






There is an 80% probability of severe cold weather between 1800 on Tuesday and 0600 on Friday in parts of England. This weather could increase the health risks to vulnerable patients and disrupt the delivery of services. Please refer to the national Cold Weather Plan and your Trust's emergency plan for appropriate preventive action.


Turning colder over the next few days with overnight frosts becoming more widespread by Wednesday night. The coldest conditions are expected across the northeast. Some wintry showers are likely at times, especially across eastern and northeastern parts with these becoming increasingly wintry through Wednesday. These showers also bring a risk of icy patches forming where overnight frosts form. During Thursday, a weather system is expected to move in from the northwest. This bringing a period of hill snow over the Pennines and also some snow down to low levels in eastern parts for a time before less cold sets in turning the snow back to rain.

An update will be issued when the alert level changes in any region

Yellow — Alert and readiness

Triggered by the Met Office as soon as the risk is 60% or above for any of the three thresholds to be breached. This is an important stage for social and healthcare services who will be working to ensure readiness and swift action to reduce harm from a potential period of cold weather.


Advice: Prolonged periods of cold weather can be dangerous, especially for the very young, very old or those with chronic diseases.

Cold Weather Alert

The cold weather health watch comprises four levels of response based on cold weather thresholds. The thresholds have been developed to trigger an alert when severe cold weather is likely to significantly affect people's health. The alerts take account of temperature along with other winter weather threats such as ice and snow.
