Birmingham Weather: Met Office issues yellow warning as cold weather is set to continue - weekend forecast

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning in Birmingham which means that ice and snow are expected. The Met Office has warned that there could be a period of snow and rainfall on frozen surfaces which will result in icy conditions.

The Met Office has put a weather warning in place in Birmingham between 3am and 11am on Sunday, December 18. The Met Office website states that some roads and railways are likely to be affected by longer journey times by road, bus and train services.

 The Met Office warns that people should also be extra careful when they’re out and about as the icy weather could result in slips and falls on frozen surfaces, as well as some icy patches on untreated roads.
