The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for South Wales including Newport and Gwent.

The yellow weather warning comes as ice and snow are expected leading to "difficult travel conditions" in parts of Wales.

It covers the entire South Wales area including Newport, Monmouthshire, Caerphilly, Torfaen, and Blaenau Gwent.

The warning comes into force at 9pm tonight and will last until 10am tomorrow - Tuesday, March 7.

The warning said: "Ice and some snow leading to difficult travel conditions in places.

"Some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services."

The Met Office also said there were likely to be some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.

While people should be wary of icy surfaces as to avoid injuries from slips and falls.

A spokesman added: “A band of rain will edge southwards through the course of Monday evening and early Tuesday, this rain turning to snow on hills and perhaps to lower levels in places.

“Many areas will see little or no accumulations of snow, but 1 to 2 cm could settle in some spots, most likely over high ground and southern parts of the warning area.

“The rain and snow is then expected to turn light and patchy as it slowly clears southern England on Tuesday. As skies clear overnight, ice is also likely to form readily on untreated surfaces.”
