Over Wales, the amber snow and ice warning is in place from noon until 9am on Friday, stretching from the north coast to Radnorshire. This comes after the coldest temperature of 2023 – minus 16C – was recorded at Altnaharra in the Highlands on Wednesday night. Met Office forecasters said this was also the lowest March temperature seen in the UK since 2010, when minus 18.6C was recorded at Braemar in Aberdeenshire.
