The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for ice for large parts of Wales, with snow expected. With temperatures dropping in recent days, snow “showers” and flurries have been forecast to hit Wales, but unfortunately it will be a fleeting treat for most of us, and unlikely to stick.
The ice warning is in place from 3pm on Monday, January 8 to 3am on January 9 and covers all of south Wales. The warning reads: “Parts of southern Britain are likely to see some snow showers during Monday afternoon and the first part of the night. Most places will see little or no lying snow, but 1-2 cm may settle in one or two places, mostly over high ground.
“In addition, some icy surfaces are possible for a time. However, the chance this reduces by dawn on Tuesday as snow showers clear to the west and surfaces dry out.” The Wales-specific forecast also says some areas will see potential “snow flurries” overnight.
