Met Office issues warning as snow expected to hit tonight

Snow and ice warnings are in place across the UK

The Met office has issued weather warnings as much of the UK is expected to be affected by snow or ice over the next few days.

Christmas might be well and truly behind us, but chilly temperatures and strong winds have proven that we're unfortunately still in the midst of winter. And if you were wondering, there's a good two months left before we're in spring, so buckle in!

The weather conditions aren't going to get any better in the next few days as we're being treated to low pressure which is bringing with it 'cold arctic air' and temperatures in the mid-high single figures.

Both Scotland and England could expect some snow in the coming days.

A forecast from Met reporter Alex Burkill revealed there will be 'some fine, bright, sunny weather' this afternoon (15 January), but in true British fashion there will also be 'showery rain, sleet and snow' across parts of Wales, England and Northern Ireland.

Throughout Sunday evening, Burkill explained temperatures will feel 'even colder' than those forecast thanks to 'brisk winds', and showers will be 'readily falling as snow' in Scotland, with a few centimetres of snow expected in some areas of the country.

'Showery rain, sleet or snow' is expected to continue across northern and central parts of the UK, prompting the Met Office to introduce yellow weather warnings for snow and ice.

Northern Scotland is expected to be most impacted by snow and ice, where the weather could cause disruption to roads and railways.

Those affected are also being warned to take care to prevent 'injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces' and be conscious of 'some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths'.

Further south, across the north and central parts of England as well as northern Ireland, a yellow warning for ice is in place which could lead to some 'difficult travelling conditions'.

On Monday, the Met Office has added another yellow weather warning for the south-east of England, including Brighton and Canterbury, where residents could see some snowfall.

"There's a bit of uncertainty as to how much, if any, snow we see, but either way there will be some difficult conditions if you are heading out early doors on Monday morning," Burkill said.

Throughout Tuesday and Wednesday, the warnings are removed for much of England but remain in place in Scotland.

The weather certainly isn't the most accommodating, and at least today seems like a day to hunker down at home with a Sunday roast and some good TV.
