Kent Gears Up for Snow: Salting Routes Cleared
Kent council has already treated all primary salting routes this morning to tackle the worsening weather. If you want to see the full salt spread map, head to kent.gov.uk/grittingkent. This proactive move aims to keep roads safer during the chilly spell gripping the county.
Wintry Showers Hit Kent Today
Expect grey skies today with snow showers sweeping in from the east by morning. The afternoon won’t bring much relief as more wintry showers roll across Kent. By evening, conditions should dry up but the skies will stay mostly cloudy. Overnight, the cloud cover will clear westwards, allowing some clear spells to develop.
Roads Icy and Risky – Take Care!
Snow and sleet from the east will continue to hit the region this morning, especially above 200-300 metres where 1-2cm of snow could pile up. Lower areas should avoid heavy accumulation but there’s still a frost risk as road temperatures dip below zero tonight.
Forecast confidence is high but clouds could affect how cold it gets exactly. The showers will ease and head west overnight, but icy roads remain a real hazard.
Tomorrow Brings Bright Skies
Good news follows: tomorrow is set for dry, mostly sunny conditions with just some lingering clouds in the morning clearing by afternoon. Perfect timing for safer journeys after a frost-bitten night.
Travel Advice: Be cautious, especially on higher routes. Stay tuned to the latest weather updates and road reports to avoid nasty surprises on the roads.
