Met Office Issue Yellow Warning of Snow for Dumfries, Galloway On Easter Monday

The Met Office have warned that there is a possibility of heavy snow over parts of England, Wales and southern Scotland, especially for high ground. Travel may be affected on Easter Monday, April 2nd 2018.

As a weather system moves in from the south and comes up against cold air over the UK, there is the chance that rain could turn to heavy snow in places. Several cm of snow are possible, especially over hills, with drifting in strong winds. There is also the possibility of a few cm of wet snow gathering at lower levels. At present the extent and amounts of any snow are very uncertain, and it is quite possible that snow might not be too disruptive.

What to expect –

• There is a small chance of travel delays on roads with some stranded vehicles and passengers, along with delayed or cancelled rail and air travel
• There is a slight chance that some rural communities could become cut off
• There is a small chance that power cuts will occur and other services, such as mobile phone coverage, may be affected
