THE Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for snow and ice in parts of the UK this week.

Parts of the UK are being told to prepare for "hazardous conditions" with the warnings lasting from 5pm today (Tuesday, November 28) to 11am on Thursday, November 30.

Parts of Scotland and the North East of England will be the areas affected by these warnings.

The Met Office said: "Wintry showers will lead to ice forming on untreated surfaces during Tuesday evening and overnight into Wednesday morning.

Alongside that, the North East England section will go further west and south with its area, with places like Darlington, Crook, Shildon and Thirsk included.

Finally, the map for Thursday, November 30 will be similar with it covering nearly all of eastern Scotland and the North East England section mentioned previously.

However, some parts of western Scotland and the island of Lewis and Harris will avoid being in the weather warning area on this day.
