- Some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services
What should I do?
Further details
Scattered sleet and snow showers will continue throughout the day and overnight into Sunday. This will lead to possible lying snow accumulations of 2-4cm at low levels and 5-10cm in higher spots. Icy patches are also likely to form overnight.

Headline
A band of rain and snow followed by snow showers will bring some transport disruption from Sunday morning.
What to expect
- Probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths
- Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces
- Some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services with some higher level routes perhaps becoming blocked for a time.
Reason for update
The warning area has been reduced given different timings of precipitation across southern England with the start time brought forward.
Further details
An area of rain will cross the west and southwest of the country on Sunday morning. This will fall onto cold surfaces with ice forming readily during Sunday morning. The rain will turn to snow readily on Sunday morning with some places seeing small accumulations of 1-3 cm at low levels but possibly 3-7 cm over 100 m. Higher ground such as Dartmoor and Exmoor are likely to see the largest accumulations with 10-15 cm possible here. Once the main area of precipitation clears wintry showers will feed in from the west maintaining the risk of icy stretches and more localised snow accumulations.
Regions and local authorities affected:

- Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole
- Cornwall
- Devon

What should I do?
Further details
An area of snow will move across Wales and central & southern England on Sunday, becoming slow moving for a time across the Midlands. This will bring 1-3 cm of snow across much of the warning area, though not all sites will see lying snow, with areas above 100 m likely to be worst affected.
