The warning covers East Riding of Yorkshire, Kingston upon Hull, North East Lincolnshire, and North Lincolnshire. The Met Office has assessed that this warning has a medium likelihood and a low impact.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for snow and ice across the Yorkshire Coast, starting at 18:00 today (Tuesday) and lasting until 12:00 tomorrow (Wednesday). The warning predicts challenging travel conditions due to snow and ice.
The Met Office warns that:
- Roads and railways are likely to be affected, leading to longer journey times for road, bus, and train services.
- Icy patches are likely to form on untreated roads, pavements, and cycle paths, increasing the risk of slips and falls.
- There is a possibility of short-term loss of power and other services.
The warning advises residents to take precautions such as:
- Planning routes in advance and checking for road closures or delays to public transport.
- Allowing extra time for journeys.
- Packing essential items in vehicles in case of delays, including warm clothing, food, water, a blanket, a torch, an ice scraper/de-icer, a warning triangle, a high-visibility vest, and an in-car phone charger.
- Using pavements along main roads, which are more likely to have been treated for ice, when walking.
- Sticking to main roads when cycling.
The Met Office urges the public to stay up to date with the latest weather forecasts and warnings.
