Met Office Warns of Snow and Ice as Temperatures Plunge
The Met Office has slapped a yellow weather warning over parts of the UK tonight, as freezing temps bring snow and ice. The alert kicks in at 9pm today (March 6) and runs until 10am tomorrow (March 7).
Snow Set to Hit South East London
Get ready, South East Londoners – snow is on the way tomorrow and sticking around into Wednesday (March 8). The Met Office’s hour-by-hour forecast predicts snow between 11am and 3pm Tuesday, with a 60% chance falling from 11am to 1pm, and a 50% chance from 2pm to 3pm.
Further wintry mix of snow, sleet, and rain could drench the region on Wednesday, though exact timings are yet to be confirmed. The good news? Conditions should ease towards the end of the week.
Travel Chaos Expected – Plan Ahead
The yellow warning means journeys could get messy. Roads, buses, and trains may face delays and longer travel times. Drivers and commuters are urged to stay alert for icy patches and possible minor snow build-up, especially overnight.
