Icy Roads Incoming: Gritters Roll Out This Afternoon
Watch out, drivers! Gritters hit the streets from 3pm today, tackling all primary routes. With overnight temperatures plunging to a frosty -2.2°C, roads will turn icy fast. Brace yourself for slippery conditions on your journey home.
Boxing Day Forecast: Dry but Bitterly Cold
Boxing Day looks mostly dry with thick cloud cover across much of the UK. Kent and Sussex might catch some rare sunny spells, but don’t expect much warmth. Winds will ease slightly from Christmas Day’s bluster but coastal areas will still feel the bite. Highs will struggle to reach a chilly 6°C.
Boxing Night: Frost and Breezes Bite
Expect a dry night with a patchwork of clouds in the northwest and clearer skies in the east and south. Frost will settle in colder pockets as temperatures drop to around -2°C. Blustery winds keep the chill factor high, so wrap up warm if you’re out late.
Saturday: Bright Start, Showers on the Horizon
Saturday kicks off dry with early sunshine for some lucky spots. But don’t get too comfortable — clouds will roll in as the day goes on. Showers are likely later, especially blustery along the coasts. Temperatures peak once again at a brisk 6°C.
Stay safe out there and watch those frosty roads!
