The Met Office has issued two weather warnings for Scotland and Northern Ireland predicting icy patches overnight which they warned may lead to travel disruption on Thursday morning. The warnings are in place from 10pm on Wednesday to 10am on Thursday as they forecasted that wintry showers on Wednesday night could lead to icy patches on untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.

Meanwhile, southern parts of England and the Channel Islands are experiencing heavy rain and winds of 35 to 40mph as remnants of Storm Ivo impact the coast. Met Office Meteorologist Alex Burkill said of the storm: “For us, it is going to bring some heavy rain, but confined mainly to southern most counties. That being said, we could see some high totals, 25-30mm perhaps over the far south of Devon and some heavy rain spreading across further East as well.”.
“Also need to watch out for some strong winds in the south west, but not enough to cause too many issues.”. The Met Office told The Independent that while Storm Ivo “will bring strong winds and heavy rain to South Western parts of Europe”, “the system is too far South to bring any major impacts to the UK, with just some rain in Southern parts of England through Wednesday.”.
