South Wales faces two yellow weather warnings as icy conditions and snow are expected, prompting safety concerns for residents.
South Wales: The Met Office has put out two yellow weather warnings for the area. They’re expecting some wintry showers and snow, which could lead to icy conditions.
The first warning kicks in at 4 PM on Thursday and lasts until 10 AM on Friday. It covers places like Newport and Monmouthshire. Then, there’s another warning starting at 3 AM on Friday, lasting until 11 AM.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen these warnings lately. There have been several days of alerts due to snow, ice, and freezing rain across Wales.
So, what should you expect? The Met Office says to watch out for icy patches on untreated roads and pavements. Slips and falls could be a real risk, so it’s best to be careful.
They mentioned that scattered wintry showers will fade overnight, but temperatures will drop below freezing, making things slippery. If you’re out and about, it’s a good idea to leave a bit earlier to avoid rushing.
Also, if you’re walking or cycling, stick to main roads where it’s likely to be less slippery. And if you’re driving, check the road conditions and be ready for possible delays.
Overall, it’s a good time to stay updated on the weather and take precautions. Stay safe out there!
