Warnings of snow, ice & wind

Showers will turn to sleet, snow and hail late on Monday night across northern England.

Over the hills, snow will drift in the strong to gale force winds.

Very strong winds will affect parts of the UK during Wednesday night and into Thursday.

The strongest winds are expected to transfer eastwards across the warning area before clearing by early afternoon.

Road, rail and ferry services may be affected, with longer journey times and cancellations.

There is also a possibility that some bridges may close.

Power cuts may occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage.

Injuries and danger to life from flying debris are possible, along with some damage to buildings.
