Freezing weather conditions continue to affect Scotland as yellow weather warnings kick in for Glasgow and its surrounding areas.

Forecasters from the Met Office brought forward a snow and ice weather warning which now starts on Monday night from 8pm and continues until 3pm on Tuesday.

They say snow and sleet is likely to hit late on Monday night into Tuesday morning.

With temperatures set to drop as low as -3C, Glasgow is being reminded to prepare ahead if using the roads or public transport.

The chief forecaster said: “This warning has been updated to extend the  north of the UK to cater for the ice risk following clearance of rain or sleet here on Monday morning.”

Experts say ice is expected to develop across western Scotland.

Looking further ahead, a fourth yellow warning comes into play from 5am on Tuesday until 9am on Wednesday affecting south-west Scotland and Strathclyde.

Craig Snell, forecaster with the Met Office, said the whole country will be affected over the next few days.

He said: “Untreated surfaces will be prone to some ice and there could be some disruption to travel.”

Snow is expected to fall on hills above 100 metres early on Tuesday morning.

Mr Snell added: “It’s going to be a very cold spell across the UK and our message is to allow some extra time for your journeys.”
