An area of rain, sleet and snow which has extended northwards across the south and west of Northern Ireland is expected to be slow moving for a time on Friday morning, before gradually moving back southwards by midday. Some slushy accumulations of 1-2 cm are possible to sea level this morning, some places above 100m altitude could see 2-5cm, and a few higher spots could perhaps see as much as 8cm of snow before conditions improve this afternoon. What should I do? Snowy, wintry weather can cause delays and make driving conditions dangerous. Keep yourself and others safe by planning your route, giving yourself extra time for your journey. Check for road closures or delays to public transport and amend plans if necessary. If driving, make sure you have some essentials in your car in the event of any delays (e.g., warm clothing, food, water, a blanket, a torch, ice scraper/de icer, a warning triangle, high visibility vest and an in-car phone charger). Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.

A spell of strong, squally winds will move east across parts of southwest and southern England this morning. Gusts of 50 to 60 mph, perhaps as high as 65mph along the coast with gusts of 45 mph possible inland; strong enough to bring a few trees down which could impact road, rail and utilities in particular. The winds will be accompanied by a period of heavy rain which will add to the potential for local disruption to occur. What should I do? Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary. People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items. If you are on the coast, stay safe during stormy weather by being aware of large waves. Even from the shore large breaking waves can sweep you off your feet and out to sea. Take care if walking near cliffs; know your route and keep dogs on a lead. In an emergency, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard. Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.
