Snow flurries and icy surfaces forecast for the Isle of Wight

The Met Office have issued a yellow ‘Be Alert’ weather warning for ice on the Isle of Wight later today (Monday).

Valid from 3pm on Monday to 3am on Tuesday, the warning reads:

Parts of southern Britain are likely to see some snow showers during Monday afternoon and the first part of the night. Most places will see little or no lying snow, but 1-2 cm may settle in one or two places, mostly over high ground.

In addition, some icy surfaces are possible for a time. However, the chance this reduces by dawn on Tuesday as snow showers clear to the west and surfaces dry out.

What to expect

  • Perhaps some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths
  • Some injuries from slips and falls on icy or snowy surfaces

You can follow the weather warning by visiting the Met Office website.

The Isle of Wight Met Service are also predicting “also a few snow flurries here and there” today, clearing away by late evening.
