AN ice warning has been issued by Jersey Met.

The yellow-level warning – the lowest level of alert – states that icy patches could form on untreated roads as temperatures drop below 0°C tonight.

There is also the chance of wintry showers this evening as a band of rain clears into Europe.

The rest of the week is set to be dry, with temperatures rising to about 12°C by Monday.

However, the UK Met Office says there is an increased risk of cold weather returning next month.

For the forecast period 1 to 15 February, it states: “Into early February there is an increased likelihood of high pressure having greater influence on UK weather patterns.

“There is uncertainty in exactly where high pressure will become established but this increases the likelihood of drier conditions.

“There is also a greater than normal likelihood of winds from the east leading to an increased chance, compared to normal, of cold spells.

“Whilst a drier and colder scenario is most likely during early February, there remains a chance of some milder interludes with spells of rain and strong winds, especially across the north.”
