We wrap up our live coverage as the UK settles into another freezing night of wintry weather.

The cold weather comes after another day of flooding wreaking havoc across central England, but with no further rainfall expected in flood-hit areas in the coming days, flooding is likely to start to ease.

Travel disruption continued today, with flights delayed, roads closed and railways affected by the bad weather.

People continued to struggle with the impact of the severe flooding that has hit homes and businesses across England’s Midlands, and a man had to be rescued from a flooded caravan park in Leicestershire’s Barrow upon Soar.

There were 114 flood warnings, meaning flooding is expected, and 205 flood warnings, meaning flooding is possible, in place across England on Tuesday afternoon. One flood warning and six flood alerts were active in Wales.

Looking ahead, forecasters are predicting the coldest nights of the year so far on Wednesday and Thursday, with temperatures expected to drop as low as -20C in some areas.

A number of yellow weather warnings covering the next few days have already become active – with the latest warning of the danger of ice in parts of north Wales, as well as areas of central and northern England, until 5pm. 12:00 GMT Wednesday.
