The warnings affect the West Midlands, Yorkshire and the Humber, the East Midlands, London, and the south-east of England and Wales.
Forecasters are warning people to expect possible travel delays on the highways that will strand some vehicles and passengers.
Bus and train services could also be delayed or canceled, as the cold blast hits with temperatures that can reach -7 ° C.
