Shafaqna English- Severe winter weather on Thursday (20 Nov 2025) caused significant disruption across the UK leading to the closure of hundreds of schools and leaving communities to face hazardous conditions.
The Met Office has issued multiple weather warnings as temperatures plunged overnight, with forecasters warning that further “thundersnow” could strike in the coming hours. Additional yellow warnings for snow and ice remain in force elsewhere across the UK.
More than 100 schools have been closed in northeast Scotland, with further closures reported across England and Wales, according to the BBC.
Local authorities say icy roads and heavy snowfall have made travel unsafe, while some schools are unable to open due to heating issues caused by power disruptions. In west Wales, hundreds of homes remain without electricity following overnight snow and ice.
