Icy patches may lead to some travel disruption.

Wintry showers will continue across northern Scotland for the rest of Monday, gradually becoming confined to coastal areas through the early hours of Tuesday. Icy patches are expected where rain falls onto frozen surfaces. A few centimetres of snow are also possible in places but mainly on hills. What should I do? Keep yourself and your family safe when it is icy. Plan to leave the house at least five minutes earlier than normal. Not needing to rush reduces your risk of accidents, slips, and falls. If you need to make a journey on foot or by bike, try to use pavements along main roads which are likely to be less slippery. Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary. Be prepared for weather warnings to change: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.

Affected areas:

  • Eilean Siar
  • Highland
  • Moray
  • Aberdeen
  • Aberdeenshire

What to expect:

  • Increased stopping distance
  • Increased journey time
  • Ice patches on road
