The Met Office has issued a new yellow snow and ice warning for the Midlands, set to take effect from Sunday through Monday. This alert follows recent snowfall that affected the region overnight into Friday.
The warning covers much of Wales and extends into areas of the Midlands, including Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, and Shropshire. Weather forecasters predict snow showers may begin on Sunday afternoon and continue into the evening, with many residents waking up to snow on Monday.
Snow accumulation could reach up to 8 cm in some locations, particularly in inland and higher areas. The Met Office states: “Snow showers will spread further inland across Wales, parts of northwest England, the West Midlands, and southwest England during Sunday evening.”

While rainfall and sleet are expected along the windward coasts, the inland showers are likely to fall as snow. Most areas within the warning zone can expect between 1 to 3 cm of snow by Monday morning, with certain spots seeing heavier accumulations reaching 5 to 8 cm.
Additionally, icy patches are anticipated to develop widely, making travel potentially hazardous. Residents are advised to stay updated on weather conditions and take necessary precautions during this cold spell.
