Snow and Ice Forecast Across North-East England and Cumbria
Yellow warnings predict snow accumulations up to 20 cm on hills and icy conditions causing travel disruptions, power cuts, and risks of slips in North East England.
- On Tuesday, November 18, the Met Office issued a yellow warning for ice from 5am to midday in Durham and Northumberland, followed by a broader snow and ice warning for the North East from 6am Wednesday to 6pm Thursday.
- Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Dan Holley said Storm Claudia's retreat lets a cold northerly flow from the Arctic bring colder conditions and wintry hazards on Tuesday.
- Forecasters say 2-5 cm is likely at low levels, rising to 5-10 cm on hills above 100 m and up to 15-20 cm above 300 m as snow showers feed inland from the North Sea through Wednesday and Thursday.
- The Met Office warned motorists, pedestrians and cyclists of travel disruption, injuries, power cuts and rural communities cut off, urging to `Keep yourself and your family safe when it is icy` and check travel plans.
- Wider context: widespread cold conditions are expected throughout the week across the UK, with temperatures dipping as low as minus 7C in places next week and daytime temperatures in single figures.
