There is a risk of icy patches developing over the coming days, which could be a hazard, especially overnight
A yellow cold weather alert has been declared as temperatures could dive as low as minus 7C. The wintry chill may result in icy patches that pose a danger, especially overnight.
Met Office spokesperson Stephen Dixon said: "What we’re seeing with the UK’s weather over the next few days is the influence of high pressure and the development of south easterly air flow which will see temperatures drop for many. Mr Dixon said it would be a “cold period” but not “historically noteworthy”. He said higher ground in south Wales could see a couple of centimetres of snow on Friday.
There is also a chance of wintry showers on Monday, which is something the Met Office is keeping an eye on, Mr Dixon said.Daytime temperatures, he mentioned, will hover "slightly below" the February average maximum of 7C, adding: "February has started warmer than average, so it’s going to be a return to more typical February averages, albeit a bit colder.
