Cold Arctic air remains
across all parts of the UK today. Further snow showers are
expected for areas exposed to the northerly winds, especially northern
Scotland, Northern Ireland, west Wales, south-west England and parts of eastern
England. The Met Office has issued various yellow warnings for snow and ice warnings
in these regions.While many places will
stay dry with wintry sunshine, it will feel cold with icy stretches for all.
Maximum temperatures will reach just -2C across parts of Scotland, and
typically 1 to 3C elsewhere.Most snow flurries will
gradually ease away later this afternoon and evening, to leave a cold
night with a sharp frost and ice.Tuesday will turn a
little milder, but further hill snow is possible over the higher ground of
Scotland and northern England. Later in the day and through the night, another
area of rain, sleet and hill snow will affect the southern half of the UK. Any
snowfall by Tuesday is not expected to be as heavy or disruptive as it has been
over the past few days.As a reminder, you can check the forecast for your area on BBC Weather.
