Bristol Airport has reopened after all flights were suspended on Saturday evening.

The airport is warning there may still be delays today as some aircraft are out of position.

It's advising passengers to check their airline’s website or app for more information.

Meanwhile, Amber alerts for cold weather were issued on Thursday and will run until Wednesday, meaning a rise in deaths is likely, the Met Office said.

Councils across London and southern England have activated emergency measures including additional accommodation to help rough sleepers stay safe during the cold snap.

The Met Office forecast the sleet and snow will continue to push north on Sunday and be heaviest in northern England and into southern Scotland.

After experiencing freezing rain for a time, the south will turn milder.

Frost and icy patches will continue through the early part of the week, but Monday and Tuesday will become drier with sunny spells and scattered wintry showers. Wednesday will be cloudier with hazy sunshine.

Wintry showers are possible in the south early on Thursday before Friday becomes more settled ahead of a cloud and rain in the west before largely settled conditions from next weekend.
