UK braces for -6C deep freeze following Storm Herminia chaos

The UK is facing a severe cold snap, with temperatures expected to drop to -6C in Scotland on Thursday. This follows the chaos caused by Storm Herminia, which has already led to flooding and power outages across the country. Storm Herminia has prompted a major incident in Somerset due to heavy rain and strong winds. Three yellow warnings for wind and rain remain in effect, with concerns about further damage to infrastructure and travel disruptions. As the storm clears, the weather is expected to improve slightly, with sunny spells on Thursday. However, more rain and potential snow are forecasted for the northwest later in the week.
