Yorkshire weather forecast: Met office issues yellow warning for ICE in wake of Storm Arwen

As Yorkshire recovers from a weekend of strong winds, flood warnings, and snow brought by Storm Arwen, the Met Office has warned of treacherous icy conditions in some parts of the region.

The Met Office has warned of icy patches on roads, pavements, and cycle paths in some parts of Yorkshire on Monday (November 29), making accidents more likely and journey times longer.

People in the region must also take care when out and about walking, with icy surfaces also increasing the risk of slips and falls.

The yellow weather warning has been issued for Harrogate, Wakefield, Huddersfield, Sheffield, Leeds, Bradford, Grimsby, Hull, Beverly, Ripon, and Northallerton, while conditions on the Yorkshire coast - which took a battering from Storm Arwen - should be better.

Cloud will increase into the afternoon, according to The Met Office, with outbreaks of rain arriving from the west into the evening, accompanied by freshening winds and a slightly milder feel.
