With winter in full swing and temperatures staying close to zero, naturally comes the question of whether snow will be making an appearance.

There was a yellow weather warning for Hampshire earlier in the week, with a light snow dusting in Basingstoke on Saturday night.

If you’re heading out today, grab a scarf as temperatures don’t exceed 2C all day and in the late afternoon it will feel like -2C.

A yellow warning for snow has been issued for Hampshire today meaning sleet and snow may cause disruption.

However, don’t go putting on your snow boots just yet as at the time of writing the met Office only forecasts sleet for Basingstoke, between 2pm and 8pm.

At 7pm the temperature will drop to 1C with 90% precipitation rate but will feel like -3C with moderate wind gusts blowing in from the North East.

Temperatures will drop even further on Thursday, hitting below zero in the morning, but rising to 3C by the afternoon.
