A yellow weather warning has been issued for South Wales as snow and ice are expected, impacting travel and safety across the region.
Cardiff: So, the Met Office has just dropped a yellow weather warning for South Wales. They’re saying we should brace ourselves for more snow and ice starting later today.
This warning kicks in at 5 PM and runs until 10 AM tomorrow. It’s covering all of South Wales, including places like Newport and Cardiff. So, if you’re in the area, keep an eye out!
After a weekend of wild weather, with snow and freezing rain, it looks like we’re in for another round. The Met Office is warning about icy stretches and sleet or snow showers that could really mess with travel plans.
They’re saying to expect longer journey times whether you’re driving, taking the bus, or hopping on a train. Plus, watch out for icy patches on untreated roads and pavements. Slips and falls could be a real risk.
According to a spokesperson, the icy conditions are likely to develop this evening. Wet surfaces from earlier rain and melting snow are making things slippery.
And it’s not just ice; we could see a few centimeters of snow, especially in higher areas. So, if you’re out and about, be careful!
All of Wales is set to feel the impact of this yellow weather warning. Areas like Blaenau Gwent, Bridgend, and even Swansea are included.
To stay safe, the Met Office suggests planning ahead. Leave a bit earlier than usual to avoid rushing and potentially slipping. If you’re walking, stick to main roads where the paths are likely treated.
Driving? Make sure you’ve got some essentials in your car, just in case you get stuck. Things like warm clothes, food, and a blanket can make a big difference.
So, keep an eye on the weather updates and stay safe out there!
