Motorists were advised to take care on the roads, with icy patches likely on untreated surfaces and pavements.

Rain should stall over south and central Scotland later in the day as it accumulates in the country’s hills.

Snow is likely later on Tuesday over the Welsh mountains and in northern England.

The rest of week is predicted to be milder, wetter and windier, while 32 flood warnings and 54 alerts are currently in place in the UK.
