Several schools in two parts of Wales have closed
Nine Welsh schools are closed today as adverse weather conditions continue to cause disruption. Pembrokeshire County Council has announced that seven will not open their doors, whilst Carmarthenshire Council say two is affected in its county.
It comes as the Met Office has a yellow weather warning in place for ice across Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Conwy, Gwynedd, Isle of Anglesey and Pembrokeshire until 11am. The UK continues to experience wintry hazards today, as a cold northerly airstream brings snow showers and icy patches to parts of the country.
Its forecast reads: “Wintry showers will continue to feed inland through Thursday night before tending to ease away on Friday morning.
“At low levels the showers will fall as rain, sleet or small hail, while above 300 m some will fall as snow with further small accumulations of one to three cm possible.
“As temperatures will fall widely below freezing showers at lower levels will lead to icy patches developing in many locations.” Live updates on conditions here.
