Read the original article on dailymail.com (opens in a new tab)The Daily Mail reports the first cold health alerts of the season from the UKHSA, Met Office forecasts of overnight lows down to -8C, and health advice from officials and a lung charity. The headline figure matches the Met Office forecast given in the body. Nothing in the article misleads its reader.
“This isn't massively unusual for this time of year”
The article keeps the Met Office spokesman's own caveat that the expected snow is normal for the season, so the dramatic 'Arctic blast' language does not pass off routine late autumn weather as exceptional.
“We can't link what's happening to the polar vortex now to what is currently happening in the weather.”
After raising the earlier polar vortex warning, the article gives a forecaster the space to say plainly that the current cold cannot be tied to it, which stops the reader drawing a false link.
