An extended yellow Met Office weather warning comes after the region saw freezing temperatures and snow overnight, and has been issued for between 12:00 (UTC) on Wednesday, 18 January, and 12:00 (UTC) on Thursday, 19 January.

It covers large parts of west Wales, including Swansea and Neath Port Talbot.

A Met Office spokesperson said: "Showers will affect the warning area, these falling as a mix of rain and hail near coasts, and sleet and snow inland at times, mainly overnight.

"This will lead to some temporary snow accumulations at low levels, whilst higher ground of Northern Ireland and Wales in particular, could see a further 2-5 cm of snow.

"For most parts of the warning area, however, ice will be the main hazard.

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

"Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces, and probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths."
