“It will be a cold day, especially so with a moderate northerly breeze and temperatures will probably peak at around 2C.

“The wind will tend to ease during the day to a gentle north or north-westerly this evening.

“Clear skies overnight will result in widespread ice on untreated roads and pavements.

“Lows are expected to fall to -1C.”

And looking ahead to tomorrow, the spokesman said: “It will be a fine day on Thursday, dry with a fair amount of sunshine.

“However, it will remain cold with temperatures rising to just 3C and there will continue to be a slow thaw of lying snow.

“There will be a danger of ice during the early morning.”
