Basingstoke will continue to feel sub-zero temperatures this week as snow and ice continue to affect the UK.

Temperatures are forecast to drop as low as -3°C late on Wednesday, while it will feel much colder across the week.

A yellow weather warning is in place for snow across much of the UK, with predictions of frequent snow showers from the Met Office.

The Met Office says: “Frequent snow showers may lead to travel disruption in places. Some places are likely to miss the showers altogether.”

It says residents should expect:

  • Some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services. Small chance of longer travel delays in places with some stranded vehicles and passengers, along with delayed or cancelled rail and air travel.
  • Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces
  • Probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths
  • There is a slight chance that some rural communities could become cut off
  • There is a small chance that power cuts will occur and other services, such as mobile phone coverage, may be affected
