A weather warning has been issued for ice in Powys this week.

The Met Office has warned that icy stretches are likely to develop across the region from midnight tonight until 10am on Thursday morning.

Some injuries could be caused slips and falls on icy surfaces, the Met Office has warned.

The yellow warning also means that there could be icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths. Some roads and railways may also be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services.

A spokesperson for the Met Office said:

“An area of rain, sleet and snow is expected to move south across much of Wales and parts of western England on Thursday morning. With temperatures falling ahead the rain, sleet and snow arriving, some icy stretches are likely to form on frozen ground.

“Whilst some snow will fall, this will be mainly on higher ground, although perhaps to lower levels for a time in the Welsh Marches and parts of the West Country. Only small amounts are expected with perhaps 1-2 cm of slushy accumulations in places.”
