Extreme cold conditions are expected to come to an end by this afternoon as an approaching low pressure system brings in cloud and snow causing temperatures to warm slightly.

Extreme cold puts everyone at risk.

Watch for cold related symptoms: shortness of breath, chest pain, muscle pain and weakness, numbness and colour change in fingers and toes.

If it’s too cold for you to stay outside, it’s too cold for your pet to stay outside.
