‘There is the potential for some disruptive ice and snow’ - Met Office’s Ethan Douglas

Disruptive snow and ice is possible on Sunday night and into Monday morning, forecasters have warned, as yellow weather warnings were issued across parts of the UK.

The Met Office issued an ice alert for areas of the Scottish Highlands, Aberdeen, Perth and Edinburgh and sections of northern England.

Ethan Douglas, operational meteorologist at the Met Office, said: "On Sunday night and Monday morning, there is the potential for some disruptive ice (given the preceding rain and cold night) and snow."

He said the cold conditions could create an ice risk on the roads, causing “potentially hazardous travelling conditions”.

"The snow risk will be constrained to Scottish hills, bringing difficult driving conditions there."

“The ice risk may be present more widely across the north of the UK, causing extended journey times and potentially hazardous travelling conditions.”

After a sunny start to Sunday, London was drenched by rain spoiling the weekend plans for many in the capital. The Met Office predicted a high of 11C in the afternoon.

The forecaster said heavy rain was expected on Monday night and into Tuesday morning.

The cold weather alerts were issued by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) for the North West, West Midlands and Yorkshire and The Humber.
