DETAILS

Through this evening and overnight the temperature will fall to freezing or below in many places, leading to a widespread frost and also the freezing of any run-off and surface water from the recent heavy rainfall.

Rural areas are most at risk with temperatures dipping to around -2°C or perhaps even -3°C here.

IMPACTS, EFFECTS AND MEASURES

• Ice sheets and black ice on roads and walkways leading to extremely slippery and hazardous driving conditions in places, especially in more rural parts
• Risk of accidents or injuries from slipping on what appears to be a wet pavement or walkway, when it is in fact invisible black ice.
