An amber cold health alert for the north west, the Midlands and the south is in force until noon on Friday.
The amber alert, issued by the UK Health Security Agency, means "cold weather impacts are likely to be felt across the whole health service for an extended period of time".
It comes as the mercury dropped to minus 11.1C at Aviemore in Scotland last night.
Forecasters said a "northerly wind" and "Arctic influence" will drag temperatures further down over the coming days.
