It is expected to be in place until Thursday morning. The forecaster has provided their latest update.

Some areas in the north of the county, above Basingstoke, will be under a snow and ice warning on Thursday, with small flurries expected. This is not expected for the rest of the county, with the forecaster saying the impact of wintry weather on the south of England waning.

‘Sleet and snow across southern England will continue to ease this morning, although some freezing rain and icy stretches are possible across Exmoor and the Blackdown Hills until early afternoon,’ the Met Office said. ‘Sleet and snow is expected to spread northeast across a larger part of Wales and central England in particular this afternoon and evening before gradually easing overnight.

‘As snow eases tonight some clear spells may develop and ice is the possible on untreated surfaces, residual ice impacts then persist into the morning travel period for some.’
