Snow and ice warnings are in place across Penarth and other parts of South Wales.

The Met Office issued the yellow weather warning last night and it is in place until 2pm on Thursday 31 December.

This means there is a small chance of disruption from snow and ice: bus and train services may be delayed or cancelled and roads may be closed.

The weather warning comes days after homes and businesses were damaged by flooding across parts of the Vale of Glamorgan.

"An Atlantic frontal system looks likely to bring rain into parts of southwestern Britain on Wednesday," says the Met Office.

"As this moves further east into colder air there is a chance of this rain turning to snow.

"The extent of any snow is very uncertain, but 2 to 5 cm could fall across a swathe of southern Wales and southern England, with a small chance of 10 to 15 cm settling in a few places, most likely on high ground above 200 metres.

"As the rain and snow clears on Wednesday night there is a risk of widespread ice forming on untreated surfaces."
