The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for snow and ice in parts of the UK this week.

Parts of the UK are being told to prepare for "hazardous conditions" with the warnings lasting from 5pm today (Tuesday, November 28) to 11am on Thursday, November 30.

Parts of Scotland and the North East of England will be the areas affected by these warnings.

The Met Office said: "Wintry showers will lead to ice forming on untreated surfaces during Tuesday evening and overnight into Wednesday morning.
