Ice Met Office weather warning for West Berkshire as freezing conditions continue

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for ice in parts of West Berkshire and North Hampshire as the country continues to be in the grips of an Arctic blast.

The warning, which covers Thatcham, Newbury and the western part of the district, is in place from 3pm today (Sunday) until 10am tomorrow morning.

Forecasters have warned that surfaces may become icy in places, making travel tricky.

It says there will "probably be some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths, making accidents more likely and journey times longer.

"Icy surfaces [are] likely, increasing the risk of slips and falls."

Temperatures are expected to drop as low as -1°C overnight.
