The Daily Express headline says weather maps show the UK will be hit by a -11C cold snap across 18 counties, dropping the 'could' and 'suggest' that the body uses. The -11C figure is one WXCharts reading for Perth and Kinross on a single day, and the Met Office forecast the article quotes expects the period to be often mild and wetter than average.

    “UK to be hit by -11C cold snap”

    Why this matters
    The words "UK to be hit by -11C cold snap" state as settled fact that the country will face a -11C freeze.
    The impression it gives
    A reader believes a -11C cold snap is confirmed and coming to the UK.
    The context
    The body says only that temperatures "could" plunge that low, based on WXCharts maps for one day. The Met Office forecast the article quotes for the same period says it will often be mild, with temperatures near or a little above average. The -11C figure is the lowest reading on one map, for one Scottish council area.

    How we know

    • Elsewhere in the article“temperatures could plunge as low as -11C”
    • Elsewhere in the article“it will often be mild, with temperatures near or a little above average for the time of year”
    • Elsewhere in the article“Perth and Kinross: -11C”

    “18 counties impacted”

    Why this matters
    The words "18 counties impacted" present the effect on 18 areas as something already decided.
    The impression it gives
    A reader believes 18 counties across the UK are definitely affected by the freeze.
    The context
    The body says the maps "suggest" that 18 counties "could be affected". Every area on its list is a Scottish council area, not a spread of UK counties.

    How we know

    • Elsewhere in the article“The maps suggest that at least 18 counties could be affected by the wintry blast”
    • Elsewhere in the article“List of counties impacted: Scotland”
