Snow and ice are predicted to disrupt commuters on Tuesday across large parts of Britain, where four yellow warnings are in place.

It may have fallen short of predictions it would be winter’s coldest night but the cold air overnight still managed to bring snow, sleet and rain across scotland and the north-west of england.

Air pushing south from Greenland meant a low of -4C ( F) was recorded on The Cairnwell mountain in the eastern Highlands, the Met Office’s Helen Roberts said.

The cold air combined with a band of precipitation to produce sleet and snow, as well as icy patches, which could prove problematic for those in cars and on trains, the forecaster added.

“It’ll be an icy start for many, with a widespread frost and temperatures dipping just below freezing,” she said.

Up to cm of snowfall has been predicted in some places.

Showers are expected to arrive in western England and parts of Wales later in the day. “But it will be a largely dry day in the eastern and central parts of the country,” said Roberts.

The yellow warnings will expire between (am and) am.

The UK is in the middle of a wintry spell, with milder weather arriving on Wednesday.
