class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>On March 12, 2025, the UK witnessed a sharp drop in temperatures as an Arctic air mass descended upon the country. The Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for ice, particularly affecting parts of Yorkshire and Northumberland between 3 am and 9 am. Forecasters anticipated wintry showers leading to icy conditions on roads and cycle paths. Oli Claydon, a Met Office spokesman, explained that showers combined with lower overnight temperatures resulted in snow, and similar conditions were expected in the following days. Snowfall was reported at Cheltenham Racecourse, disrupting events at the Cheltenham Festival.

The UK&#8217;s lowest temperature during this cold spell was recorded in Benson, Oxfordshire, at -8.1\u00b0C. Other areas, such as Shap in Cumbria and Bournemouth Airport, also experienced sub-zero temperatures.
