According to the OpenWeather data, there is light snow forecast for Peterborough on Tuesday and Thursday, with heavy snow forecast for Sunday. A Peterborough City Council spokesperson said: "If you have family and friends who are vulnerable, look out for them through making sure they are warm, that they have food and any prescriptions they need so that they do not have to leave their homes.

"Try to maintain indoor temperatures to at least 18C and have regular hot food and drinks. Avoid going out in cold weather but if you have to, wear warm clothes and avoid icy walking areas which can lead to falls."
