Snow and below freezing temperatures a day after very heavy rains and widespread floods, UK

Snow has pummelled parts of Wales on November 9, 2019, causing travel disruptions just a day after a heavy downpour hit parts of England, resulting in widespread floods. One woman reportedly died after being swept away by floodwater in Derbyshire.

Temperatures have dropped to -7 °C (19.4 °F) in parts of Scotland. Seven severe flood warnings remain in place in England, with one yellow warning for ice across the east of Northern Ireland.

The snow came a day after deadly flooding ravaged parts of Britain, killing one woman identified as Annie Hall. Her body was retrieved from the Derwent River on Friday, November 8.

Been filming in the beautiful village of #Fishlake today as the #floods continued to affect #Doncaster. Amazed by the resilience, good humour and community spiritedness (if that’s a word) in the face of such devastation. @itvcalendar @itvnews pic.twitter.com/jU316ivBkX

Overall, low temperatures are expected across the UK, with some portions of Scotland experiencing below freezing point.

Patches of fog with westerly rain are predicted by the Met Office. Downpours should head eastwards but are likely to avoid the areas affected by floods.
