LONDON, Jan 2 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- London has activated a Severe Weather Emergency Protocol as it will face subzero temperatures Friday night, the city’s mayor said, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported. 

“The temperature is due to drop below freezing tonight, and emergency accommodation is open across the capital for those sleeping rough," Sadiq Khan wrote on the X platform.

The mayor advised those who typically sleep on the streets, or who know someone who does, to connect to support services via StreetLink, a platform that links people sleeping rough in England and Wales with assistance.

Snow is also due to hit London next week.

BBC Weather forecast that the capital will see four days of snow, while Netweather issued a red warning for a strong possibility of snow across London on Wednesday, according to a report by My London.
