Ice expected overnight

Date published: 27 January 2020


A yellow warning for ice is in place across the Rochdale borough and the majority of the north west from 7pm Monday (27 January).

Showers of rain, hail and sleet are likely on Monday night and Tuesday morning, leading to a risk of ice on some surfaces as temperatures fall below freezing.

Travel may also be disrupted, according to the Met Office.

Some snow is also possible, but mostly restricted to high ground above 200 metres where a few centimetres may settle.

What to expect

  • Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces
  • Probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths
