A yellow weather warning advises the public to be aware of conditions. The current weather conditions can, to some extent, be used as a yardstick for how the weather might turn out, as the Met Office also issued a yellow weather warning for the weekend.

The latest forecasts say that temperatures will drop below zero overnight, leading to ice forming where snow has fallen or melted during the day. In addition there is the risk of further, local snowfalls during Monday.

The Met Office said the extent of sleet and snow was very uncertain at this stage, but warned the public that they should be aware of the risk of travel disruption.
