People should leave extra time for any journeys they plan to take.

A yellow weather warning for ice has been issued for Cambridgeshire by the Met Office. The warning will be in place from 5pm on Friday (February 13) and will last until 10am on Saturday, February 14.

The ice warning is due to temperatures dropping overnight to lows of zero degrees, which can cause ice to form on untreated surfaces. The ice could cause some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces. It is likely there will be icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements, and cycle paths.

The Met Office has told people to leave extra time for their journeys to avoid rushing and reduce their risk of accidents, slips, and falls. If you are walking or cycling, you should use pavements along main roads.

People who are planning to drive or take a bus or train should check timetables and roads for any incidents before leaving and amend their plans if necessary. The warning covers the whole county.

A spokesperson for the Met Office said: “A band of rain and sleet, with a little snow on hills, will clear southwards across England and Wales during Friday evening and overnight. As skies clear, temperatures will fall below freezing leading to a risk of ice forming on untreated surfaces.”
