UK Faces Snowfall and Freezing Temperatures as Storm Claudia Hits

On November 14, 2025, the UK is bracing for a significant drop in temperatures and the potential for snowfall in the coming days. This follows the arrival of Storm Claudia, which has brought heavy rain to much of England and Wales over the past 48 hours.

As the storm moves northward, it is expected to leave a freezing cold snap in its wake. Meteorologists predict that temperatures will plummet, with some areas likely to see temperatures as low as -1°C. The cold snap is expected to worsen in the early part of next week, with southern Scotland and the northeast of England potentially seeing snowfall and overnight frosts.

Employers are being urged to review their extreme weather policies and ensure they are prepared to support their employees during this period of inclement weather. While companies cannot force staff to travel to work if it is deemed unsafe, they may not be obligated to pay employees who are unable to come in. Businesses are advised to consider options such as remote work, flexible schedules, and alternative office locations to minimize disruptions.

As the winter chill sets in, the public is advised to stay informed about the latest weather updates and to plan accordingly for their commutes and daily activities.
