Sheffield handed yellow Met Office ice warning - everything you need to know
Sheffield has been issued a Met Office weather warning, amid concerns over conditions overnight.
The city has been put under a yellow alert for ice from 6pm tonight (Monday, February 16), as temperatures are expected to plunge on wet pavements following a rainy day.
Rain is forecast throughout today (Monday) until 6pm, with temperatures predicted to drop overnight.
The alert covers a large portion of the north of England and runs from 6pm this evening until 10am on Tuesday.
The Met Office states: “Clearing skies, following areas of rain, sleet and hill snow for a time on Monday night, will lead to the risk of icy patches into Tuesday.”
Its forecast for some of Sheffield’s higher ground, including Hallam Head, forecasts freezing temperatures overnight and early on Tuesday.
However, the organisation’s forecast for the city centre predicts temperatures just over freezing.
