Another weather warning issued for ice across Devon and Cornwall

Another weather alert has been issued for Devon and parts of Cornwall for tomorrow (Friday 10 January).

The Met Office has issued the yellow weather warning for ice from 3am until 11am on Friday.

The alert covers Devon aswell as areas including Bodmin, Lostwithiel, Liskeard and Camelford in Cornwall.

The UK's national weather service has said: "Outbreaks of rain, sleet and patchy snow spreading north-eastwards on Friday morning, falling onto frozen ground, may lead to some icy patches on untreated surfaces for a time.

"Any accumulating snow will be largely reserved for hills, where a patchy 1-2 cm may accumulate above 150m elevation, and a small chance of 3-5 cm over Dartmoor."

Motorists are being urged to stick to major roads that are most likely to have been gritted.

Car insurer RAC said it has seen the highest levels of demand for rescues in a three-day period since December 2022.

"Cold conditions will last until at least the weekend, so we urge drivers to remain vigilant of the risks posed by ice and, in some locations, snow," said RAC breakdown spokeswoman Alice Simpson.

"Black ice on rural roads can be impossible to spot, leaving very little time to react if driving at speed. Sticking to major roads that are most likely to have been gritted is strongly recommended."
