As winter maintains its icy grip, the MET Office has extended its yellow weather warning for today, Friday, January 19, 2024. This alert emphasises the continued presence of treacherous ice, especially in the morning hours, in various regions. Expect the following conditions:

What to Expect

Icy Patches: There will likely be icy patches on untreated roads, pavements, and cycle paths.
Risk of Injuries: Be cautious of potential injuries resulting from slips and falls on icy surfaces.
