DISRUPTION due to icy services will continue this morning as the Met Office has updated its Yellow Warning for Devon.

The alert has been updated to run until Noon today, Thursday.

Temperatures dropped to minus five in Newton Abbot by 6am this morning and are expected to dip to minus two again tonight and just below freezing overnight again on Saturday and Sunday, according to the Met Office.

A Met Office spokesperson said: ‘Frequent wintry showers will spread into Northern Ireland through the early hours of Thursday then on to Wales, parts of western and northwestern England, and parts of Southwest England.

‘These will fall on frozen ground in many areas, leading to the formation of icy stretches on untreated surfaces.

‘In addition, showers are likely to fall as snow on high ground, with slight accumulations possible in places.’
