The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for snow and ice for some parts of the UK. The warning is in place between 10am on Monday, November 18 and 10am on Tuesday, November 19.

The Met Office said there is a small chance of disruption from snow and ice. In its warning, the Met Office said: "Spells of rain, sleet and snow are likely during Monday and overnight into Tuesday morning. The most likely scenario is for most of the snow to fall on high ground, with five to 10 cm possible above 300 metres and perhaps as much as 15 to 20 cm above 400 metres.

"There is a small chance of snow settling at lower levels, where five to 10 cm would prove much more disruptive, but this is very uncertain. As rain, sleet and snow clear on Tuesday morning, ice may form on untreated surfaces."
