Cold weather forecasts have prompted warnings to take care from Public Health England (PHE).
Latest update
Cold weather returns prompting PHE to warn people to look out for those most at-risk.
Over the past few weeks repeated cold spells have resulted in the issuing of several warnings about the potential risks to health. But today (9th February 2017) the Met Office has said temperatures will be low during the daytime and there will be high chances of overnight frosts in all places, until Monday.
Professor Paul Cosford, Medical Director and Director of Health Protection at PHE said:
With more cold weather across all parts of England now is the time to really think how it could impact you and your family, particularly those who are very young, over 65 or who have heart and lung conditions. Try to keep homes heated to at least 18°C, stock up on any essential medicine or food that you need before the cold arrives and remember that you will be warmer wearing several thin layers instead of fewer thick ones.
Whenever temperatures drop more people become seriously ill, including from pneumonia, heart attacks and strokes - that’s why it’s so important we all think what we can do for those at risk now.

Yes it's cold, but i don't think we need a professor to tell us the obvious.
