At night, it is expected to get as low as -4C in the Valleys and -3C in some parts Monmouthshire while the temperature will hover around -1C in Newport.

There is a snow risk in high and low ground in mid and North Wales, but the weather here is expected to be wet today followed by a mixture of sunshine and clouds for the rest of the week.
