UK weather: Snow and ice forecast as Met Office issues warnings

Elsewhere across the UK there will be widespread overnight frosts and an increasing risk of snow showers affecting parts of Northern Ireland, northern England and North Wales by the end of this week.

Meanwhile, the snow showers across Northern Scotland will continue into the weekend.

Further snow and ice warnings are likely to be issued by the Met Office in the coming days, which you can keep up to date with here.

Away from the snow showers there will be lots of crisp winter sunshine.

With the colder weather expected to last into next week, forecasters are keeping an eye on a weather system that could bring more widespread snow even across England and Wales on Tuesday.

As this is still a long way off in weather forecasting, stay up to date with the latest forecast on the BBC Weather website or app as details are likely to change.
