Hundreds of schools across the UK have been forced to close after the country was hit by overnight snow and ice.

A number of yellow weather warnings from the Met Office remain in place for large parts of the UK on Monday, with the country facing widespread disruption.

Schools and nurseries have had to shut on what should have been the first day back for many pupils after the holidays.

It was the country’s coldest night of the winter so far, with a temperature of -13.3C recorded in Loch Glascarnoch in the Highlands, between Ullapool and Inverness, overnight on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Environment Agency has issued 166 flood warnings, meaning flooding is expected, and 299 flood alerts, meaning flooding is possible, across England. In Wales, there are three flood warnings and 34 flood alerts.
