Showers will continue into the first part of the night, before dying out later. Skies will clear, and with winds easing, temperatures will fall quickly, leading to some icy patches developing on untreated roads, footpaths and cycle paths. What should I do? Keep yourself and your family safe when it is icy. Plan to leave the house at least five minutes earlier than normal. Not needing to rush, reduces your risk of accidents, slips, and falls. If you need to make a journey on foot, try to use pavements along main roads which are likely to be less slippery. Similarly, if cycling, try and stick to main roads which are more likely to have been treated. 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. Be prepared for weather warnings to change: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.

Icy patches on untreated surfaces may lead to locally difficult travel conditions overnight and into Monday morning
