Where is Storm Dave expected in the UK?

Up to 30 centimetres of snow could fall, with the Met Office issuing a yellow severe weather warning in Scotland for heavy snow and blizzards, causing some travel and power disruption.

Meanwhile, an amber weather warning for wind has been issued for parts of northern England, Scotland and Wales tonight.

The Met Office has upgraded a severe yellow weather warning for wind to amber, meaning flying debris could lead to “injuries or danger to life”.

What different Met Office weather warnings mean

The amber warning covers parts of Lancashire, North Yorkshire, Northumberland, North Wales and Scotland, and comes into effect at 7pm this evening and is due to remain in place until 3am on Sunday.

When is Storm Dave expected to hit the UK?

The warnings are in place this evening and tomorrow morning, with the storm expected to hit during this period.

Storm Dave will hit hardest on Saturday evening, before beginning to weaken on Sunday as it moves into the North Sea.

The Met Office has issued multiple warnings for wind covering the whole of mainland Scotland, Northern Ireland, parts of northern England and North Wales from Saturday evening into Sunday.

Greg Dewhurst, a Met Office meteorologist, said: “There is cold air across Scotland at the moment and, as the rain pushes across this afternoon, it is going to turn to snow.

“We’ll see heavy snow forming across parts of the Highlands as we go through the rest of the afternoon into the evening time and early hours, as much as 20 to 30 centimetres could fall over the higher ground, and five to 10 centimetres over lower ground.”

Analysis by Which? found Aldi offered the lowest prices in March for a basket of 95 everyday grocery items, reinforcing its position as the go-to retailer for budget-conscious households.

The data shows Aldi customers paid significantly less compared to rivals, with stark differences across the board:

• £26.75 cheaper than Tesco (even with Clubcard discounts)
• £28.47 less than Sainsbury’s (including Nectar prices)
• £29.70 cheaper than Morrisons
• £64.38 less than Waitrose

Even compared to Ocado, shoppers could save nearly £50 on a single shop.

Over a year, that could add up to more than £2,500 in savings for regular customers.

This comes as major retailers including Aldi, Lidl, Morrisons, Asda and Co-op are slashing prices across everything from vegetables to full roast dinners, with some items dropping as low as 4p.

This could be one of the cheapest Easter shopping periods in years – with meals from £1.25 per person and toys at half price.

But most deals are short-term, meaning shoppers may need to act quickly before stock disappears.

The biggest headline-grabbing deals are on traditional Easter veg.

Aldi shoppers can get potatoes, carrots, onions, swede and parsnips for just 8p and 4p each, bringing the cost of a full veg shop to under 50p. Products include British white potatoes (8p, 2kg), British carrots (4p, 1kg), XL garlic (8p, each), brown onions (8p, 1kg), British swede (4p, each) and British parsnips (4p, 500g).

Morrisons has carrots, parsnips and swede at just 4p, with savings of up to 96%.

These offers are only running for a limited period in the run-up to Easter, meaning availability could be tight as demand surges.

Supermarkets are also competing on full meal deals:

• Aldi: full roast for four at £8.01 total
• Lidl: Easter dinner from £1.63 per person
• Asda: over 50% off lamb, pork and salmon

Core ingredients include:

• Whole leg of lamb from around £6 per kg
• Veg from 4p–8p
• Mint sauce and gravy under £1

The supermarket expects to sell millions of vegetables and 17.5 million Easter eggs, with branded eggs cut to 99p.

Thames Valley Police has released a CCTV image of an individual that officers would like to speak to in connection with the incident in Didcot.

Between 7pm and 8.30pm on Sunday, March 29, in Newlands Avenue, an offender approached the victim’s door and proceeded to kick it forcefully.

The motivations of the man to kick the door are not known.
