Yesterday a yellow weather warning was issued, with forecasters predicting between two and five centimetres of snow in parts of the south east on Sunday.

In Portsmouth light snow is forecast between 3am and midday as temperatures fall between freezing.

The weather warning had been in place all day on Sunday, but today the Met Office issued a separate warning from 12.05am to 11.55pm on Saturday.
