Second Weather Warning For Ice Issued Across NI

A second yellow weather warning for ice has been issued across Northern Ireland.

The warning has been put in place from 6pm on Wednesday, 31 January, until 10am on Thursday, 01 February.

Following a spell of rain, sleet and snow, temperatures are expected to fall quickly allowing ice to form on untreated surfaces.

A Met Office spokesperson said: "Rain sleet and snow will affect Northern Ireland and Wales this evening spreading to central and southeastern England during the night. Following this, skies will clear and ice is likely to form. Snow will mainly be away from northern facing coasts and on high ground above 200 m where 2-5 cm may accumulate, mainly in northern areas. Some temporary snow is possible to low levels at times."

The public is being advised to take extra care.
