UK weather: Temperatures plunge to -15.4C as more snow forecast

The Met Office has two weather warnings in place until lunchtime, with delays and cancellations affecting airlines and railways.

A temperature of -15.4C (4.3F) was recorded in Braemar in Aberdeenshire, making it only slightly higher than the low of -15.6C (3.92F) set in 2010.

Further snowfall is expected in the coming hours, with the Met Office saying "there is a good chance that some rural communities could become cut off".
