From Sunday, south-east England is very likely to experience a severe episode of winter weather conditions, possibly with close to record cold for this time of year.

Similar very cold easterly spells at this time of year in the past include February 1962 and 1986, and more recently 2005 and 2013.

Daytime temperatures will struggle to get above freezing and extreme wind chill values expected on Wednesday to Friday (feeling like -10C to -14C).

The Met Office has issued a Yellow Severe Weather Warning for snow from Monday 26 16:00 GMT to Tuesday 27at 23:55 GMT.

Currently the forecast is for 5-10 cm locally, while nearby locations may see much less frequent showers and only small accumulations of 0-2 cm in places.

The current record for lowest maximum temperature in March across south-east England is -3.3C at Farnborough, Surrey on 10 March 1931.

Wednesday next week is currently forecast to see the lowest temperatures of this cold spell.

A Kent community has been brought to a standstill as emergency services deal with an eviction of a man living in a layby.

Several roads have been closed since around 09:30 GMT after bailiffs attempted to serve an eviction order on the man occupying a layby in Mile Oak Road, near the Elm Tree pub in Paddock Wood.

Police, ambulance and fire services are on standby at the scene because of “concern for the welfare” of the man.

A Kent County Council spokesperson said bailiffs visited the site after the council secured a court order to evict the man, who is understood to have been living for several months in a vehicle in the layby, surrounded by what the council says is 30 tonnes of scrap.

Neither the police nor ambulance service has commented on the current health of the man.

Kent County Council has defended its absence record at special needs schools, claiming illness and the class sizes affect statistics.

Liberal Democrat Cllr Trudy Dean made allegations that the latest low attendance figures "mask a serious failure" of the council.

The figures for the academic year 2015/16 show persistent absence rates in Kent stood at 30.1%, compared to the national average rate of 26.9%.

However, the council officer in charge of attendance, Ming Zhang, said the high amount of illness in the county and village schools mean the figures do not show the full picture.

Four members of staff at Gravesham will relocate to Medway – which has a team of 42.85 full-time employees – under changes announced at the latter's budget meeting on Thursday evening.
