A yellow ice warning was issued by the Meteorological Service for an area of the country with the risk of “some injuries from slips and falls”. Snow and hail could also disrupt travel, the meteorologist said. Weather in the UK: The latest Sky News forecast Image: Yellow ice warning issued by the Met Office on Saturday morning The warning, which covers the eastern regions, including the borders of Scotland, Northumberland, Durham, North Yorkshire, East Riding, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, remains in effect until 10 a.m. Saturday. This is followed by a cold start to April in much of the UK on Friday, with temperatures dropping to -8 degrees Celsius (17.6 F) on the Tulloch Bridge in Scotland. Sky News weather producer Joanna Robinson said: “There will be extensive frost to start on Saturday, strong in places. “Frozen stretches are possible, especially in the East. “There will be plenty of sunshine in the morning, but there will be scattered rains, with a risk of hail, sleet and snowfall.” He added: “It will be rather cold for the beginning of April, but the lighter winds than the recent ones mean that it should not feel so raw.” The cold comes after the United Kingdom experienced the sunniest March since 1929. Northern Ireland enjoyed 90% more sunshine than the average for the month, with a total of 192.5 hours of sunshine. Scotland had 64% more sun than usual, with a total of 160.1 hours. The bright prospect was repeated throughout the United Kingdom, with England seeing the second sunniest March at 168.1 hours and Wales the fifth sunniest March with 157.9 hours. Picture: The cold comes after the United Kingdom saw its sunniest March since 1929 Met Office meteorologist Dan Stroud said overnight temperatures would be several degrees below average for the season, with cities across the UK experiencing sub-zero conditions. He said the winter weather is expected to continue over the weekend. He said: “It is generally dry and cold, if not a little less cold than we had the next few days. “We have an established air flow in the Arctic right now, coming from a cold spring. “So we have basically cold, clean air all over the UK. “There is also a very clear and sunny sky, especially in the western part of the UK.” Mr Stroud said temperatures should rise from around 10 C (50 F) on average over the weekend to around 14 C (57.2 F) on Monday as the Arctic air system moves away.
