Snow and ice warnings means there could be challenging travel conditions in many parts of Wales on Thursday morning

Parts of Wales are set for another cold snap on Thursday, with two weather warnings in place for snow and ice.

The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for snow and ice for parts of north, west and mid Wales from 00:15 GMT on Thursday until 11:00.

A second yellow weather warning for ice is in place from 00:15 until 10:30 covering parts of south Wales as well as southern England.

People are being warned that there could be dangerous road conditions and to plan extra time for making necessary journeys - leaving the house at least five minutes earlier than normal and sticking to main roads, more likely to be treated, where possible.

The Met Office added people should "be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly" and recommended checking what is forecast locally on a regular basis.

Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Gwynedd, Anglesey, Pembrokeshire, Powys, Swansea and Wrexham are predicted to see snow and ice.

Meanwhile, the counties covered by the shorter ice warning are Caerphilly, Cardiff, Monmouthshire, Newport, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Torfaen and Vale of Glamorgan.
