An area of rain will turn to sleet and snow from the north, initially over Scotland, and then over northern England during Monday evening.

Accumulating snow will mostly be above 200-300 m, but possibly to lower levels in Scotland for a time, with 2-5 cm in places. Sleet and snow clearing southeastwards overnight into Tuesday, with temperatures then falling and ice forming, particularly on untreated surfaces.

What to expect

  • Some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services
