The Met Office has issued a new weather warning for Wednesday
The Met Office has released a fresh weather warning, urging residents to be prepared.
The warning is covering parts of Central Scotland, Tayside and Fife, Grampian, Highlands and Eilean Siar, SW Scotland, Lothian Borders, Strathclyde.
On Tuesday, a Yellow weather warning is in place from 6pm until Wednesday 10am. The forecast suggests the regions concerned can expect to see hazardous conditions due to patchy frost.
A Met Office forecast said: “Clear spells will lead to ice developing on untreated surfaces on Tuesday night, particularly in areas of snowmelt by day and also where wintry showers move inland from the west overnight.”
What Should I Do?
Keep yourself and your family safe when it is icy. 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 along main roads which are likely to be less slippery. Similarly, if cycling, try and stick to main roads which are more likely to have been treated. 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. Be prepared for weather warnings to change: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.
