5 January 2025

Snow showers have swept across the East of England overnight but the region has avoided the worst of the disruption seen elsewhere.

A yellow warning of snow and ice, external was due to remain in force - covering parts of Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk - until 23:59 GMT, though temperatures were expected to rise to 12c (54f) in the afternoon.

Stansted Airport said services had returned to normal after nine flights were diverted while snow was cleared from its runway in the early hours.

National Highways warned motorists to take care and gritters were dispatched for a third time in as many days in Buckinghamshire to keep roads clear.
