Met Office yellow warning for ice until Wednesday morning

Ice is likely to cause difficult driving conditions locally overnight and into Wednesday morning, according to the Met Office.

The weather agency has issued the yellow warning for a swathe of the south, including the New Forest and Christchurch.

It warns to expect "some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces" and "icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths".

A Met Office spokesman added: "Following the recent very wet weather, sub-zero temperatures overnight will mean that any water seeping onto roads will continue to freeze, leading to icy stretches, particularly, but not exclusively on untreated surfaces."
