People are being urged to keep an eye out on those most at risk from colder temperatures
Previously, the level 3 alert was only in place until 9am on Friday, January 20. However, it will now be pushed back until 9am on Monday, January 23. It comes after the Met Office issued a snow warning for parts of the North West, including Greater Manchester.
The government is now urging members of the public to stay warm and stay away from the cold conditions were possible. People are also being encouraged to keep an eye out for those most at risk of negative effects from cold weather including the elderly and those living with severe health conditions.
"During this period, it is important to check in on family, friends and relatives who may be more vulnerable to the cold weather. If you have a pre-existing medical condition or are over the age of 65, it is important to try and heat your home to at least 18°C if you can. Jason Kelly, Chief Meteorologist at the Met Office, said: "Cold, icy and sometimes snowy conditions are in the forecast this week with the UK seeing more of a north-westerly regime, with temperatures well below average for the time of year. Wintry showers are likely at points through the week in the north of England.
"Warnings have been issued and ice is likely to be a hazard for much of the week with some tricky travel conditions possible. Maximum temperatures will largely only reach the low single figures with temperatures below freezing through most nights this week."
