The Met Office is forecasting a period of heavy snowfall for Thursday.

Many areas of southern UK could see up to 5 cm, with as much as 15 cm in the Midlands. This could possibly lead to disruption on transport networks.

The band of heavy snow is most likely to affect southern Wales, the Midlands and central and southern England, including London.

The main focus of concern is for Thursday morning, but forecasters are also predicting some snow showers today and tomorrow.
