Met Office weather warning for ice in Birmingham: Forecast reveals exactly when cold snap will end

Birmingham will have to endure freezing cold temperatures for at least a few more days, before being in for quite a radical change starting next week. The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for ice on Sunday, as the last remnants of this year’s first cold snap makes its mark on the city.

The yellow weather warning, in place from 3am to 11am on Sunday (December 18), means there will be some possible icy patches on untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths. The icy patches may cause injury, so be extra careful.

The icy cold is however looking to be short lived, as temperatures are forecast to rise to above 10C next week as wetter, milder weather makes its way across the West Midlands. Here is the weather forecast for Birmingham and the West Midlands as we enter the weekend.
