Arctic air will maintain its grip on the UK to start the weekend, as cold health alerts remain in place for a large swathe of England.

Saturday will dawn with another sharp and widespread frost with the coldest conditions expected in England and Wales.

Patches of freezing fog could also be a hazard, reducing visibility and bringing a risk of very slippery surfaces in southern and eastern England.
