- Cold health alerts issued for northern England regions starting Sunday night.
- Temperatures to fluctuate, with lows near freezing and highs up to 12C.
- Potential for localized flooding due to rain, wind, and falling leaves.
Cold health alerts will be reinstated for the north-east and north-west of England, along with Yorkshire and the Humber, beginning Sunday at 21:00 GMT. These alerts are scheduled to remain in effect until Thursday morning at 09:00 GMT.

As the week progresses, a wintry chill is predicted to return with colder air moving in from the north. Monday afternoon temperatures are expected to be between 5C and 8C across most of the UK, with a noticeable wind chill effect along eastern coasts. Gale-force winds are likely around western coasts.
Sporadic sleet and snow may occur across higher elevations like Snowdonia, the Pennines, and the Highlands on Monday night. The rest of the week promises a fluctuating pattern of mild and cold weather, keeping temperatures varied across the UK.
