The Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings for snow and ice affecting the Yorkshire Coast.

The warnings are in effect from 12:00 today, 21 November 2024, until 10:00 tomorrow. These warnings mean there is an increased likelihood of impacts from severe weather that could potentially disrupt plans.

Here’s what residents and visitors to the Yorkshire Coast can expect:

• Wintry showers and icy patches are expected this evening and overnight, potentially leading to travel disruption.
• Showers will fall as snow over hills, with icy patches elsewhere.
• Some roads and railways are likely to be affected, resulting in longer journey times for road, bus, and train services.
• Icy patches are probable on some untreated roads, pavements, and cycle paths.
• There is a risk of injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces.

The Met Office advises taking the following precautions:

• Plan your route in advance, checking for road closures or delays to public transport. Amend plans if necessary.
• Allow extra time for journeys, whether by road, bus, or train.
• Exercise caution when walking or cycling, especially on untreated surfaces.
• Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly and stay updated with the latest forecast.
