Outbreaks of sleet and snow will gradually move northwards on Friday, persisting overnight and into Saturday. Accumulations will vary from place to place, but some lower ground areas could see temporary accumulations of 1-3 cm of snow, whilst 5-10 cm is expected above 200 metres and perhaps as much as 15-20 cm above around 300 metres. Ice will be an additional hazard. During Saturday, milder conditions will follow from the south with sleet and snow turning to rain. What should I do? Snowy, wintry weather can cause delays and make driving conditions dangerous, so to keep yourself and others safe: plan your route, checking for delays and road closures, amending your travel plans if necessary; if driving, leave more time to prepare and check your car before setting off; make sure you have essentials packed in your car in the event of any delays (warm clothing, food, water, a blanket, a torch, ice scraper/de-icer, a warning triangle, high visibility vest and an in-car phone charger). People cope better when they have prepared in advance for the risk of power cuts or being cut off from services and amenities due to the snow. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items. Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area

Disruption from snow and ice is likely on Friday and Saturday.

Region: Northern Ireland

An area of rain, sleet and snow will move north across Northern Ireland on Thursday night. Accumulating snow is expected to be mainly over higher ground, whilst at lower levels many places will see little if any snow. Above around 200 metres, including the Glenshane Pass and Antrim Hills, 2-5 cm of snow is likely to fall with a chance of 10 cm falling in a few places. Rain, sleet and snow will ease on Friday morning. What should I do? Snowy, wintry weather can cause delays and make driving conditions dangerous. Keep yourself and others safe by planning your route, giving yourself extra time for your journey. Check for road closures or delays to public transport and amend plans if necessary. If driving, make sure you have some essentials in your car in the event of any delays (e.g., warm clothing, food, water, a blanket, a torch, ice scraper/de icer, a warning triangle, high visibility vest and an in-car phone charger). Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.

Snow may bring some travel disruption for higher parts of Northern Ireland through Thursday night and into Friday morning.

Region: Wales

A couple of bands of rain, heavy in places, will push northwards across southern England and south Wales during Thursday and early on Friday. Whilst a drier interlude is likely for a time during the middle part of Thursday, many places in the warning area will see 15-25 mm of rain accumulate during this period. However, some higher ground areas of southern England and south Wales could see as much as 35-45 mm of rain. What should I do? Check if your property could be at risk of flooding. If so, consider preparing a flood plan and an emergency flood kit. Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary. People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items.
