With some of the UK bracing for "disruptive snow" and icy conditions, what will Hereford be facing for the next few days?

The Met Office has issued several yellow weather warnings for snow and ice for parts of the UK that began on Sunday afternoon and are in place until Tuesday morning but said there is “potential” for warnings to be “escalated”.

According to the current Met Office forecast today (November 18), the county will not be experiencing any severe weather conditions, and there are currently no warnings in place.

In Hereford, the lowest temperatures will be felt on Tuesday and Wednesday, with lows of minus one and minus three degrees. On Tuesday, the forecast says that we can expect light rain changing to overcast by late morning. 

On Thursday, the highest temperature we'll see will be around five degrees, with a clear sky changing to partly cloudy in the afternoon.

On Friday, the high will be six degrees, with a partly cloudy sky changing to sunny intervals by late morning.

The weekend will be slightly warmer, with highs of nine degrees, however, Saturday will bring heavy rain.
