Public Health England aconsejó que los hogares en el Reino Unido mantengan una temperatura mínima de 18 °C para personas de 65 años o más, citando la advertencia del Met Office sobre un vórtice polar debilitado. Con anterioridad, la UK Health Security Agency había emitido una alerta amarilla de frío para Greater Manchester y la región noroeste, advirtiendo temperaturas de hasta –1 °C y mayores riesgos para grupos vulnerables, y amplió la alerta al noroeste y West Midlands ante temperaturas por debajo de la media. Las alertas se produjeron después de que el Met Office advirtiera que el vórtice polar podría traer aire más frío a gran parte del país, lo que motivó la recomendación de calefacción para los mayores.
