The warning has been put in place from 6pm this evening, 29 November, until 10am on Thursday, 30 November.

A Met Office spokesperson said: "Showers, falling as rain or hail, but as sleet or snow on some higher ground, will occur at times through Wednesday and overnight into Thursday morning. The extent of ice will vary across the area with inland areas most prone whilst north facing coasts are less likely to be affected."

Drivers are being urged to take care on the roads.
