METEOROLOGISTS have issued a yellow weather warning for snow across all of Wales on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The warning is in place from midday on Tuesday until 11am on Wednesday with up to 10cm expected on higher ground.

The Met Office’s Chief Forecaster says: "A band of rain will arrive across Wales, northern and western England through the middle of Tuesday, then move eastwards through Tuesday afternoon and evening.

"The rain will turn quickly to snow on hills, then also to low levels in places.

"3 to 5 cm snow is likely above 200 metres, with up to 10 cm in a few places.

"A patchy covering of 1 to 2 cm is possible at low levels, although some places will see no snow at all.

"As skies clear overnight, ice is likely to form on some surfaces.

"In addition, wintry showers will follow into western areas on Wednesday morning, giving further slight accumulations of snow in a few places."

The Met Office warns that here may be some travel delays with roads and railways likely to be affected by the cold weather.
