A yellow weather warning has also been put in place for Tuesday 17 and Wednesday 18.

They said: "Wintry showers are expected to develop across Northern Ireland, Wales, and western England during Sunday afternoon and evening, extending east across southern Scotland and the remainder of northern and central England.

"Clearing skies later in the night are expected to lead to ice developing on untreated surfaces. Showers will mainly fall as rain at low levels but could turn to snow in heavier or more prolonged showers resulting in 2-5 cm accumulating in places above 100-200 m, for example, west of Northern Ireland, Cumbria, Pennines and north Wales."

What to expect:

  • Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces
  • Probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths
  • There is a chance that road, air and rail services could be disrupted or delayed
