❄️ Snow Alert for Wales! ❄️
Brace yourselves, Wales! The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for snow and ice as we enter the New Year. Get ready for a cold snap, as Arctic air sweeps into town, bringing with it snow flurries across the country as we approach the weekend.
Starting at midnight on Friday, 2nd January, the forecast predicts snow flurries lasting a couple of hours in some areas, with up to 5cm of snow possible in certain places. Areas under the Christmas card makeover include Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Carmarthenshire, and several others, so keep your eyes on the skies and the roads!
The chill doesn’t stop there – it’s set to continue through the weekend and into next week, with temperatures possibly dipping into the minus double digits at night. If there’s ever a time to dig out those extra blankets and your favourite winter woollies, this is it!
Chief Meteorologist Jason Kelly has advised planning ahead for the potential of more severe weather warnings as chilly conditions persist. So, whether you’re heading into work or planning a New Year’s outing, stay informed and travel safe.
Feel the winter magic, but keep an eye out for those icy patches! Keep warm, Wales ❤️
