LONDON, Dec 5 (NNN-AGENCIES) – British voters may see a frosty election day on Dec 12, as forecasters on Wednesday warned of a cold snap.
The Met Office, British national weather service, predicted that a blanket of heavy snow will arrive for election week, bringing temperatures down to sub-zero in some areas.
Temperatures could fall as low as minus-9 degrees Celsius, in the Scottish Highlands by the evening of Dec 12, and could also be freezing in many parts of northern England and Wales, according to forecasters.
The long-term forecast also suggested possible snowfall in Scotland and the Pennines, a range of mountains and hills in England, with the rest of Britain to be hit by blustery winds and freezing fog.
Despite worries about a reduced voter turnout, the election will still go ahead as planned, as required by the law, local media reported.– NNN-AGENCIES
