On Sunday evening, the weather service issued a third warning for snow in designated areas of Wales, predicting accumulation primarily in higher regions of Wales and northern England.

Earlier, the Met Office issued rain and ice warnings set to impact Wales. It cautioned about heavy rain likely to disrupt travel, alongside potential icy patches developing in the evening and overnight, resulting in challenging road conditions. The regions expected to encounter icy conditions include Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Gwynedd, Monmouthshire, Powys, and Wrexham.
Meanwhile, areas affected by heavy rain encompass Blaenau Gwent, Bridgend, Caerphilly, Cardiff, Merthyr Tydfil, Monmouthshire, Newport, Powys, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Torfaen, and Vale of Glamorgan.
The yellow warning for rain spans from midnight on Sunday until 6 pm on Monday.
