<\/p>\nNew warnings for snow and ice have been issued by the Met Office for parts of the UK – with hundreds of flood alerts also active.<\/p>\n
A yellow warning for snow and ice is in place in Scotland from 3pm on Monday until 10am on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
A separate yellow warning for ice has been issued for huge swathes of England and Scotland from 6pm on Monday until 10am on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Northern Ireland also has a yellow warning for ice in place from 8pm on Monday until 10am on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The Met Office said: “Areas of rain, sleet, and hill snow will move southeastwards through Monday evening and night before clearing to the North Sea.<\/p>\n
“Whilst some patchy accumulations of snow will be possible, more especially on ground above 150-200m elevation, ice will be a greater hazard as temperatures fall fairly quickly once showers clear away.<\/p>\n
“In addition, a period of strong northwesterly winds are also likely along some North Sea coasts later in the night and into Tuesday morning.”<\/p>\n

It warned of the risk of “injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces” as well as “probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths”.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Environment Agency urged the public to stay vigilant amid the continuing risk of floods.<\/p>\n
There are 75 flood warnings – where flooding is expected – already in place across England. The Environment Agency has also issued a further 189 flood alerts, where flooding is described as possible.<\/p>\n
Jonathan Day, flood duty manager at the Environment Agency, said more than 24,000 homes and businesses have been protected, but around 330 have been flooded.<\/p>\n

It’s going to be a largely dry day, some decent amounts of winter sunshine.<\/p>\n “But it does start to go downhill later in the day, from the south and the west we’ve got a broad area of cloud and rain pushing in south-west England and South Wales late on Tuesday, during the course of Wednesday this will bring a mix of rain, sleet and hill snow.”<\/p>\n Mr Stroud added: “We do need to keep an eye on this system, there’s the potential for snow warnings to be issued.<\/p>\n “Thursday into Friday will be largely dry with some clear skies, turning milder towards the end of the week.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New warnings for snow and ice have been issued by the Met Office for parts of the UK…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":428664,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-428663","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-united-kingdom","8":"tag-gb","9":"tag-great-britain","10":"tag-greatbritain","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428663","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=428663"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428663\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/428664"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=428663"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=428663"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=428663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
