Warning

A mix of sleet and snow showers will move in from the east later on Sunday night along with temperatures near zero. Given these wintry showers, and also wet surfaces after recent wet weather, some icy patches are likely on untreated surfaces. Additionally a few of the snow showers could turn quite heavy; these probably only affecting a narrow zone but a few places could see 1-3 cm, mainly over the north Downs and on grassy surfaces. What should I do? Keep yourself and your family safe when it is icy, or small amounts of snow have fallen. Plan to leave the house at least five minutes earlier than normal. Not needing to rush, reduces your risk of accidents, slips, and falls. If you need to make a journey on foot, try to use pavements alongside main roads which are likely to be less slippery. Similarly, if cycling, try to stick to main roads, which are more likely to have been treated. Be prepared for weather warnings to change; the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.
