Met Office issues yellow weather warning across Merseyside

A yellow weather warning is in place across Merseyside.

The Met Office has issued the warning for ice after the region was blanketed by snow over the weekend.

Monday, January 25 is expected to be cold and frosty with wintry showers though it should turn drier overnight. The yellow weather warning remains in place until 11am.

Locals should be wary of the risk of injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces while icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths are likely.

The colder conditions following Storm Christoph will remain until early next week, when conditions are due to become more unsettled once more

Steve Willington, chief forecaster for the Met Office, said: “The exit of Storm Christoph – which brought the heavy rain to a central band of the UK – has established a flow of colder air from Iceland and the Arctic.

"And this is bringing a mix of wintry hazards across the UK.

“In clearer conditions, overnight ice will remain a hazard, while a band of snow is likely to bring falls of 1-3cm quite widely across central areas of the UK, particularly the Cotswolds and higher ground in the East Midlands on Sunday. But snow outside these areas is also a potential hazard.”

The warning follows as Mossley Hill, Ainsdale, Widnes and Gateacre were among areas covered by a layer of snow on Saturday.
