Met Office issues ice warning for parts of north Cumbria

Summarised from 4 outlets · Updated 15 Nov, 16:56 · Archive

The Met Office has issued a yellow ice warning for parts of north Cumbria from 6pm on Sunday 15 November until 10am on Monday 16 November. The warning covers Carlisle and Penrith, where temperatures are expected to fall to -1°C and -3°C respectively.

Untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths could become icy, bringing a risk of slips and falls and difficult driving conditions. The Met Office said that rain and hill snow would clear to the southeast overnight, with skies then at least partially clearing. This will result in temperatures falling below freezing and icy stretches developing on untreated surfaces.

Further south in Cumbria, temperatures are also expected to be cold. Kendal could see lows of -3°C by 7am, while Barrow could fall to 0°C by 8am.

The Met Office recommends that anyone travelling should check road conditions and bus and train times before setting off, and change their plans if needed. Drivers should leave a little earlier than usual and use main roads or pavements where possible, as these are more likely to be less slippery or to have been treated. Warnings can change, so people are advised to keep an eye on the forecast for their area.
