The yellow ice warning will be in place from 18:00 on Monday February 16 to 10:00 on Tuesday February 17.

“Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces. Probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.
“Areas of rain, sleet, and hill snow will move southeastwards through Monday evening and night before clearing to the North Sea. Whilst some patchy accumulations of snow will be possible, more especially on ground above 150-200 m elevation, ice will be a greater hazard as temperatures fall fairly quickly once showers clear away.
“In addition, a period of strong northwesterly winds are also likely along some North Sea coasts later in the night and into Tuesday morning.”
