Hundreds of schools across the United Kingdom remain closed today as icy conditions persist across the UK.

The torrid weather of the weekend has only continued into this week with much of the UK seeing snow, sleet and ice.

Wednesday saw yellow weather warnings placed across the country, including in Southern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

And warnings have persisted today, with a yellow warning for snow and ice in place in Scotland, Northern Ireland and across England.

Shockingly, temperatures are expected to plummet to as cold as -16C in northern Scotland on Thursday night.

Extreme weather conditions caused hundreds of schools to shut yesterday, particularly in North Yorkshire and Scotland, with many yet to reopen.

A full list of school closures can be found below.
