Current alert level: Level 1 - Winter Preparedness in one or more regions of England
Issued at: Monday 20 February 2012 at 08:53
Temperatures are not expected to reach Cold Alert threshold values until further notice.
A Cold Weather Health Watch system operates in England from the 1 November to 31 March every year, in association with the Department of Health.
The cold weather health watch comprises four levels of response based on cold weather thresholds. The thresholds have been developed to trigger an alert when severe cold weather is likely to significantly affect people's health. The alerts take account of temperature along with other winter weather threats such as ice and snow.
A range of important information can be found at the Staying warm in winter website.
