The Met Office has issued an amber alert, warning of the risk of power cuts and more travel chaos after flights and trains were cancelled due to the freezing weather.

The Met Office has put an amber warning in place for the Cumbria area until midnight, warning some rural communities may be cut off, power cuts are likely along with issues with other services such as mobile phone coverage.

It issued yellow weather warnings for parts of the country this morning as temperatures dropped as low as -10C overnight.
