The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for ice across London amid a sudden drop in temperatures. 

The warning is in place from 5pm tonight (Tuesday 19) until tomorrow morning (Wednesday 20) ending at 10am.

The Met Office is warning that there is a chance of some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.

Additionally, there could be some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces.

Yellow weather warning for ice in place across London

Giving further details to the weather warning, a Met Office spokesperson added: "Rain, sleet and snow will continue to clear southwards across England and Wales with clearing skies to follow.

"Temperatures are expected to fall below or close to freezing quite widely across the warning area with icy patches forming on untreated freezing surfaces."

The Met Office has added that you should keep yourself and your family safe when it is icy and plan to leave the house at least five minutes earlier than normal so you don't need to rush.

Adding that if you need to make a journey on foot, try to use pavements along main roads which are likely to be less slippery.

Sharing: "If cycling, try and stick to main roads which are more likely to have been
treated."

To avoid delays, the Met Office adds that you should check "road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary."

Later in the week, you can expect a mix of rain in London, including a very wet and windy Saturday, as the Met Office adds:
