Unusual cold weather in northeastern England

According to a reporter in the UK, tens of thousands of households in northeastern England have fallen into power outages when high winds and snow have raged again after the warmest of the last three months of the past 7 years.

The British weather suddenly cooled back from April 3, with snow falling to 10cm, somewhere up to 18cm, in the Scottish provinces. By April 4, high winds and snow had spread to the northeastern provinces of England and the central provinces, causing widespread power outages and paralysis of traffic on some roads.

Northern Powergrid Electric Company on April 4 said high winds caused electric cables to break and 40,000 people in the northeastern provinces of England, Yorkshire, and North Lincolnshire had to live without electricity.

Western Power Distribution also said that about 9,000 households in the northern province of Derbishire also lost power. Before that, on the morning of April 3, about 11,000 people in Scotland also suffered from power outages due to high winds and heavy snowfall.

Northern Powergrid spokesman said the company has deployed service vehicles to these areas to provide hot water and support people during the repair of the line.

The British Meteorological Agency issued a "yellow" warning to the snow in North England, Wales and some central provinces.

Provinces in the Southeast and Southwest England regions, including London, are not severely affected by this unusually cold spell. The British Meteorological Agency predicts cold weather, high winds and sleet in the Northern England provinces may last all April 5.
