Yellow Weather Warning Issued for Yorkshire Coast

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 11:25

By Matthew Pells

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for snow and ice, starting at 18:00 today (Tuesday) and lasting until 12:00 tomorrow (Wednesday).

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.

Snow showers are expected to develop during Tuesday evening and continue overnight into Wednesday morning. In some places, there may be accumulations of 2-3 cm of snow and up to 10 cm over higher ground. Ice will readily form on untreated surfaces.

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.
