Temperatures could drop as low as -10C in the coming days, as heavy rain brought by Storm Christoph is replaced by sub-zero conditions this weekend.Parts of the North West of England devastated by flooding on Tuesday and Wednesday turned drier overnight on Thursday as the storm moved eastwards.”Thankfully the areas that saw a lot of rain have certainly been a bit drier today,” Met Office meteorologist Craig Snell said on Thursday.But he warned that flood-hit areas are to turn “more wintry”, with a yellow warning for ice in place across Wales, the North West of England, west coast of Scotland and large parts of Northern Ireland until 10am on Friday.Although the rain is due to ease in places like Manchester and Cheshire, where thousands have been evacuated from their homes, there could be more flooding next week. Advertisement Environment Secretary George Eustice warned that “the danger has not passed” after chairing the government’s emergency COBRA committee on Thursday.”The water levels remain high and there is the risk of possible further flooding next week so everyone needs to remain vigilant, follow the advice and sign up for flood alerts,” he said.
