Region: Northern Ireland

Frequent wintry showers will continue to feed inland through Wednesday evening, overnight and into Thursday morning across Northern Ireland. As temperatures fall during the evening, snow is likely to begin to settle in places, whilst ice may form on untreated surfaces. Many low-lying areas may see little lying snow, especially across southern counties. However, 1-2 cm is likely in places, with 3-5 cm over some higher routes such as the Glenshane Pass, with perhaps very locally more across the higher parts of the Sperrins. What Should I Do? Snowy, wintry weather can cause delays and make driving conditions dangerous. Keep yourself and others safe by planning your route, giving yourself extra time for your journey. Check for road closures or delays to public transport and amend plans if necessary. If driving, make sure you have some essentials in your car in the event of any delays (e.g., warm clothing, food, water, a blanket, a torch, ice scraper/de icer, a warning triangle, high visibility vest and an in-car phone charger). Keep yourself and your family safe when it is icy. Plan to leave the house at least five minutes earlier than normal. Not needing to rush, reduces your risk of accidents, slips, and falls. If you need to make a journey on foot, try to use pavements along main roads which are likely to be less slippery. Similarly, if cycling, try and stick to main roads which are more likely to have been treated. Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary. Be prepared for weather warnings to change: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area

Wintry showers on Wednesday night into Thursday will bring some icy patches and lying snow in places, leading to possible travel delays
