It said some roads and railways are likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services.

There is some risk of injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces and there may be icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths

Further wintry showers are forecast throughout the day, according to the Met Office .

It will be windy, with gales on coasts.

The unsettled weather will continue through the weekend, although temperatures will gradually recover to near-average over the weekend and into the start of next week, the Met Office added.
