A new weather warning has been issued this afternoon for snow and ice across the entirety of Brecon and Radnorshire.

The yellow warning has been issued by the Met Office and will run until the end of today (Tuesday) - when a new warning will come into place for a slightly different area.

The forecaster said: “Snow will affect this area until later this afternoon. Accumulations will mainly affect higher ground where 2-5 cm could develop before the snow clears to the south by around 3pm.”

The Met Office added that ice will be a hazard into this evening.

Northern areas of Powys were more heavily affected by snow last night and through to this morning, closing schools and roads, and affecting recycling collections.

But now, Brecon and Radnorshire now looks set to be affected by snow and ice over the next 24 hours, with two separate warnings in place.

National Highways Severe Weather Resilience Manager, Darren Clark said: “Gritters will be out treating our roads around the clock when ice or snow is forecast, but it is still important to drive to the conditions.

“Keep your distance and reduce your speed, because even in conditions that seem normal, and where the snow is not settling, it can be slippery if ice patches have formed, or where fresh grit has not been worked into the carriageway.

“Drivers should plan their journeys, monitor weather reports and pack a snow kit of blankets, food, water and a shovel.”
