Tuesday 16th January 2024

Happy reading!

Hey everyone! 🌨️ Looks like Tuesday's gearing up for some sleet in the forecast and a brisk breeze to match.

The temperature's not planning on climbing much higher than 3°C, and as the day turns into night, we might see a drop to a chilly -2°C. So, pack your scarf and umbrella because from mid-afternoon onward, those clouds are going to get a bit teary-eyed, with the chance of precipitation jumping up every hour.

Stay warm, stay dry, and let's ride out this wintry mix together! ☔❄️🧣

⚠️ Weather Alert for this week! ⚠️

We've got a yellow warning for snow and ice kicking off at midnight on Tuesday, 16th January, which might bring further snow showers and potentially some travel hiccups. This could mean possible delays, slippery roads, and even some power cuts. The same goes for Wednesday, 17th January, with frequent snow showers expected to continue causing some travel disruption through Thursday. Stay safe, plan ahead, and bundle up! We’ll keep you updated with the daily newsletters.
