The full list of school closures in Wales on Thursday, January 19

Many schools across Wales have been forced to close today as snow hits parts of the country. There is a yellow weather warning for snow and ice has been issued for the majority of Wales, which will be in place until Thursday afternoon.

As a result, several schools have decided to close their doors. For Thursday, it is set to be a mostly dry day with sunny spells but will become frosty in the evening. A few wintry showers are still likely, but mainly in northern and western coastal areas, with winds becoming generally light and maximum temperature at 6 °C.

In the evening, the Met Office forecasts that any remaining coastal wintry showers will die away, leaving a dry night with clear periods. It will turn very cold, with a widespread frost and icy patches and a minimum temperature of -6 °C.
