The Met Office has issued a weather warning of ice.

The yellow weather warning, meaning be aware, is in place from 9pm tonight to 11am tomorrow.

Dorset is one of the areas which will be affected.

According to a Met Office spokesman, icy stretches are likely to form overnight.

He said: “A band of rain will clear Northern Ireland on Monday evening with surface temperatures falling away behind this and icy stretches likely to form on some untreated surfaces. Wintry showers will push into the country from the northwest overnight, with a few centimetres possible across northern and western counties, especially over higher ground.

Residents have been told to expect:

• Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces

• Some ice on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.
