ITV Weather presenter Alex Beresford explains how there are amber "danger to life" wind and snow warnings now among the alerts in place, as Storm Goretti is set to hit this week.
Rain associated with Storm Goretti is set to turn to heavy snow from 8pm on Thursday, lasting until Friday morning for areas including parts of Wales, the Midlands and South Yorkshire.
The snowfall will mean trains and planes could be delayed or cancelled, rural communities may be cut off, and power cuts or disruption to mobile signals are likely, forecasters said.
The warning stretches from Sheffield in the north, down to Leicester, across much of the West Midlands and into Wales.
Some areas could see 5-10cm of snow settle, while others could see as much as 20cm.
