“The main hazard is likely to be icy surfaces where rain falls onto frozen ground.

“Temperatures may then rise a little for a time overnight before falling again by Wednesday morning as cloud clears, so ice remains likely.”

Ice is expected to form on some surfaces from late Tuesday afternoon and last overnight into Wednesday morning.

There will probably be icy stretches on untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths with some injuries possible from slips and falls.
