Yellow weather warning in place for rain

The Met Office has said that there is still a number of weather warnings in place for snow and ice in parts of the UK.

In parts of the southern and central regions rain has hit making the temperature less cold, but for northern England and Scotland snow and ice continues.

In southern England there is a yellow weather warning in place for rain on Monday and parts of the south west.

Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Jason Kelly, said, “The first Atlantic airmass for a while is making some inroads across southern and central parts of the country bringing less cold conditions to many southern areas, whilst the cold airmass continues to hold on in the north.

“Where these two airmasses meet is the focus for continuing ice risk. For parts of northeast Scotland, wintry showers will bring some icy conditions overnight, as well as some accumulating snow inland.

“However further south rain will become the main hazard and a yellow warning for rain had been issued for Monday for parts of the South West.

“Warnings may well be updated over the coming days so keep up to date with the forecast in your area.”
