A cold snap will continue to sweep across Britain on Tuesday and temperatures could drop to -10 ° C in some parts of the country.
The Met Office issued a yellow snow and ice warning for much of England and Wales and parts of Scotland after a day of heavy snow in some regions, with more winter weather expected on Wednesday and Thursday.
He said overnight temperatures through Tuesday “will drop towards freezing, perhaps dropping as low as -10 ° C in western Scotland where there is a layer of snow.”
Drivers were urged to stay off the AA-predicted dangerous roads if the thaw turns to ice overnight.
The British could also wake up to patches of icy fog, which will take time to clear.
Winter rains could see up to 4 inches of snow falling on the Pennines and the North York Moors, according to the weather advisory that runs until 10 a.m. Tuesday.
The Met Office said most places will see little or no snow, but “it is possible that a light layer of a centimeter or so will be covered in some places.”
AA’s Ben Sheridan said: “Snow thawing, rain and freezing temperatures overnight lead to difficult driving conditions, and roads are likely to be icy in the morning.”
But the AA added regional restrictions, which have been imposed due to Covid-19, which means that the roads are quieter than normal.
Large swaths of London, the Midlands, the south, the southwest and the east of England and Wales have also been warned that snow and ice could hit on Wednesday and Thursday.
The yellow warning from the Met Office suggests that up to 5cm of snow could fall in parts of South Wales, central and southern England, and there is a small chance that it will settle between 10 and 15cm in some places, very probably on elevated terrain above 200 meters.
It comes after much of England and Wales endured a cold and icy bank holiday Monday.
