Kent Roads Gritting at 3am as Freeze Hits – Brace for Chaos!
Kent County Council’s Highways teams are out and about at 3am, gritting all primary routes as temperatures plunge to a chilly minus 0.4°C overnight. Road surfaces could drop below freezing, creating slick, slippery conditions across the county.
Weather Warning: Heavy Rain, Snow & Gales Set to Hit
Today starts dull with mist, drizzle, and fog hanging tough over higher ground. But don’t get too cosy – late morning brings heavy rain and toughening south-westerly winds. By evening, coastal areas are facing howling gales, with gusts strong enough to cause damage. Temperatures peak at a mild 8°C, but the wind chill will bite hard.
Tonight & Friday: Freezing Temps & Snow Threat
- Tonight: Rain eases but watch out – sleet and snow risk rises, especially on hills. Winds gust to gale-force near coasts. Temperatures hover right at freezing (0°C).
- Friday: Cold, cloudy, with more showers of rain and snow morning. Strong winds stick around before skies clear from the west. Max temp only 5°C – chilly and blustery.
