It’s Going to be Cold

Our friendly forecasters have warned that it’s going to be cold overnight tonight, with a weather alert for frost and icy conditions coming in at 8am tonight (Friday).

It’ll be in place until 9am on Saturday, with the warning adding that clear skies and light winds will allow surface temperatures to fall sharply during the evening.

As a result, a widespread frost is expected to form, with icy patches likely to develop on untreated surfaces where roads and pavements remain damp or wet.

The warning applies to the whole Island, although the Met Office says a southerly breeze developing later could help temperatures recover more quickly in southern coastal areas.

It comes after some snow over the Mountain Road last night.
