The warning, which covers most of the country, will be in place from 12am to 10am on Wednesday (January 7).

The Met Office said icy patches overnight on Tuesday and Wednesday morning “could lead to some disruption,” including injuries from falls on icy surfaces and icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.

It added: “Following a band of precipitation which clears southeast overnight, clear skies will develop for many areas on Tuesday night will lead to icy patches on untreated wet surfaces.
