According to the Met Office, some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces are possible, as are probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements, and cycle paths.

A yellow warning means there is a medium likelihood of low-impact harm.

A band of rain and sleet, with a little snow on hills, will clear southwards across England and Wales during Friday evening and overnight.

High areas may also see some snow.

As the skies clear, temperatures are expected to fall below freezing, leading to a risk of ice forming on untreated surfaces.

For those needing to go out, it is recommended to stick to main roads and pavements, as they are more likely to have been treated and are likely to be less slippery.

It is also advised to check road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if needed, and leaving the house earlier than normal to avoid rushing, which can increase the risk of slips and falls.

The warning from the Met Office reads: "Icy surfaces leading to difficult travel conditions."

"Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces.

"Probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths."
