Britain on RED alert as 'displaced Polar vortex' to unleash weather hell next week

       The 'displaced Polar vortex' will wreak weather havoc across the UK

Panicked forecasters raised the alert in the past hour after spotting the freak system on the weather models.
Rare in the UK it is identical to the phenomenon which triggered crippling whiteouts and ice storms in the United States.

Sparked by the frenzied and volatile behaviour of the jet stream it threatens to bring the fury of the North Pole tearing across the country NEXT WEEK.

Forecasters say temperatures will plunge to below -15C (5F) while feet-deep snow drifts on a par with the worst winters in history are likely.

The whole of the UK will be scourged by screaming Arctic gales and blizzards right through the first half of February.
