The Met Office has issued a warning today (Sunday) to much of the UK about incoming ice and snow. The yellow warning comes as a “huge operation” is underway to contain flooding in areas affected by recent rain.
The ice warning is in place across a central band of the UK covering all four nations. There are currently hundreds of flood warnings in place, with temperatures due to drop below zero in most places overnight.
Snow showers are predicted to hit northern areas on Sunday (January 15) evening, with hill snow developing in central areas and rain sweeping the south. Temperatures are expected to drop overnight to minus 2C in London, minus 1C in Cardiff, and minus 3C in both Edinburgh and Belfast, while Highland areas of Scotland could see minus 10C.
