The alert for ice comes into force on Thursday evening
The Met Office has issued another severe weather warning covering the whole of Greater Manchester. The alert - which is due to come into force from 5pm tonight, Thursday - warns of widespread icy conditions and 'some challenging travelling conditions' across the region.
In its latest alert, the Met Office warned of the potential for 'some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces', together with 'icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths'. Drumnadrochit, near Inverness in the Scottish Highlands, hit minus 10.4C in the early hours of Thursday, making it the coldest recorded temperature of the year so far.
The warnings covering northern and south-west Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales suggest there may be “further wintry showers bringing disruption from ice and snow” while an ice warning is also in place for the south west of England.
