Yellow warning of snow and ice continues

Snowy road

Further snow showers are expected Tuesday evening (29 January) and overnight into Wednesday morning (30 January). Expect 1-3 cm of fresh snow even down to very low levels in places. Temperatures dropping below freezing later on Wednesday afternoon will result in ice forming onto untreated surfaces.

Rain and snow is expected to move in from the southwest, moving across England and Wales through Thursday (31 January) into Friday (1 February). This is likely to fall as heavy rain at first across the far southwest of England, but as it meets the cold air established over the rest of the country, snow becomes more likely. There is a chance of 2-5cm of snow for some places, timings are currently uncertain. 10cm is possible in places, though there is uncertainty at this stage on where is most likely to see the greater snowfall accumulations.

Overnight Thursday into early Friday ice may also become a hazard on any untreated surfaces as temperatures fall below freezing.
