Met Office weather warning as UK experiences coldest night of the year so far

There is a weather warning out for ice across West Berkshire and North Hampshire this evening.

The Met Office has issued the yellow warning from 6pm tonight (Tuesday) until 10am tomorrow (Wednesday).

It warns that ice is "likely to cause difficult driving conditions overnight into Wednesday morning".

Last night saw the lowest temperature of the year so far recorded, when it hit -9.8C in Topcliffe, North Yorkshire.

The Met Office warned that there will be icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths and encouraged people to take extra care.

"Following the recent very wet weather, sub-zero temperatures overnight will mean that any water seeping onto roads will continue to freeze, leading to icy stretches, particularly, but not exclusively on untreated surfaces," it added.
