The Met Office is advising residents in 51 regions to prepare with essential supplies as a snow front moves in overnight. A yellow warning for ice and snow is in effect from 2 am to 3 pm on Sunday, encompassing Scotland and northern England. Some areas may see up to 10cm of snow, while higher elevations above 200m could get up to 20cm, accompanied by strong winds causing drifting and widespread icy conditions.
Expect possible travel disruptions, stranded vehicles, slip-and-fall injuries on icy surfaces, and potential power outages affecting mobile phone services. To ensure safety, the Met Office recommends having torches, batteries, and a mobile phone power pack readily available, along with any other necessary items.
Today, a yellow ice warning remains in place until midday for several regions, cautioning about refreezing snow, freezing fog, and wintry showers leading to icy surfaces and increased slip hazards. Additionally, a yellow snow and ice alert covers Northern Ireland until 11 am, predicting icy patches and hill snow.
Following Storm Goretti, which caused power outages, travel issues, and school closures, the recent weather conditions have impacted various parts of the UK. Storm Goretti brought high winds up to 99mph to South West England, resulting in flight delays and cancellations at London Heathrow and Birmingham airports.
