Brace for Snow and Ice as Weather Warning Hits
The Met Office has slapped a yellow weather warning on the UK, signalling snow and icy roads are on the way. The warning kicks in tonight at 9pm (March 6) and runs until 10am tomorrow (March 7).
Snow Set to Batter South East London
Snow showers will hit South East London tomorrow and into Wednesday, March 8. The Met Office predicts snow falling mainly between 11am and 3pm on Tuesday, with a 60% chance around midday and a 50% chance early afternoon. Snow, sleet, and ice are expected to continue on Wednesday, though the exact timings are yet to be confirmed.
Commuters should gear up for delays. Road, bus, and train services could see longer journey times as icy patches and snow cause disruption across affected areas.
Detailed Forecast: From Cold to Milder by Week’s End
