The Met Office has issued a new yellow weather warning for South Wales including Blaenau Gwent and Monmouthshire.

The yellow weather warning comes as light snow, combined with icy patches, could cause disruption to travel. 

It covers areas of South Wales including Monmouthshire, Caerphilly, Torfaen and Blaenau Gwent.

The warning came into force at 4am and will last until 10am.

The warning said snow and icy conditions could affect some roads and railways potentially increasing journey times. 

The conditions could also leave icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths so patrons are being urged to take care to avoid injuries from slips and falls.

A Met Office spokesperson added: "Periods of rain will likely transition to snow from the northwest, continuing east and south through Friday morning easing as it does so.

"A few cms of snow is likely in places, with 2-4 cm possible across parts of Wales, and perhaps higher ground elsewhere such as the Cotswolds.

"Icy surfaces also likely to develop."
