Occasional showers, falling as sleet and snow, are likely at times overnight and into Thursday morning. These will fall onto sub-zero surfaces, leading to icy stretches on untreated surfaces. Patchy small amounts of snow accumulating, but possibly 2-5 cm above 150 m in West and North Wales. 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.

Ice and snow showers may lead to some difficult travel conditions during Thursday morning.
