Drivers are facing 45-minute delays on the A27 eastbound between the A23 and A270 near Brighton.

National Highways says sleet and snow is causing difficult driving conditions, and asks drivers to be careful and allow extra journey time.

It’s not looking good on the Tube this rush hour – here are the ongoing incidents:

• Bakerloo line: No service between Stonebridge Park and Harrow & Wealdstone due to a faulty train at South Kenton. Severe delays on the rest of the line
• Central line: Severe delays between Liverpool Street and Leytonstone eastbound only, and minor delays between White City and Liverpool Street eastbound only due to an earlier faulty train at Bethnal Green. Minor delays between Leytonstone and Hainault via Newbury Park due to shortage of trains
• Lioness (London Overground): No service between Watford Junction and Willesden Junction due to a faulty train at South Kenton. Severe delays between Willesden Junction and Euston
• Piccadilly line: No service between Rayners Lane and Uxbridge due a shortage of Piccadilly line trains while we fix damage caused by leaf fall. Severe delays on the rest of the line due to a shortage of trains
• District line: Minor delays between Barking and Upminster eastbound only due to the temporary unavailability of train operators

Southern trains between Haywards Heath and Lewes in Sussex are facing two different incidents this evening.

Not only is there snow on the railway, but there’s also a fault with a level crossing barrier between Lewes and Eastbourne.

Southern is warning passengers to check their entire journey before travelling.

Following a Met Office weather warning being upgraded from yellow to amber, National Highways have warned that the following roads could be impacted by snowfall:

They warn that the Okehampton, Bodmin, Blackdown Hills and Haldon Hill areas are likely to be worst affected.

Heavy snow is impacting drivers on the A38 in Devon this afternoon, National Highways has warned.

Gritters with ploughs are treating the road between the A380 for Kenford and the B3344 for Chudleigh.

Drivers have been advised to take care on the roads.

Devon & Cornwall Police has advised drivers not to go out in the snowy conditions while the amber snow warning is in place.

The force posted on X: ‘Snowfall is being reported in areas of Devon and Cornwall this afternoon with more bursts predicted to follow.

‘Drivers, consider whether or not your journey is absolutely necessary, and if it is not, please wait until the current weather moves through.’

The Met Office has issued a new amber weather warning for snow for parts of the South West of England.

This means that in places such as Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset, 2 to 5cm of snow is expected above 150m.

Some areas could see up to 10cm of snow, as a heavy band of snow slowly pushes eastwards into this evening.

As the UK is hit with freezing temperatures, some households may be eligible for a special payment for cold weather.

If the mercury drops to 0°C or below for seven days in a row in a particular postcode, people living there could qualify for a payment of £25 to help with their heating costs.

This is separate to the Winter Fuel Payment, a benefit for pensioners which hit the headlines after Labour announced it would become means tested.

Low income households in England and Wales are eligible for Cold Weather Payments between November and March if the weather is particularly wintry.

The Met Office has issued fresh yellow weather warnings for snow and ice across parts of the UK tomorrow.

This impacts areas including the South West of England, Wales, North West of England, Northern Ireland and the north and west of Scotland.

The warning for the South West of England and Wales is in force from 3am on Thursday until 12pm the same day.

Meanwhile the warning for Northern Ireland is in place until 11am tomorrow and the warning in Scotland is in place until 11.59pm tomorrow.

Temperatures could plunge as low as -16°C as the UK braces itself for more freezing weather.

It comes as snow is predicted to hit the south and London this evening, potentially bringing with it travel disruption.

Lows of -16°C are possible across Scotland and northern England overnight on Thursday and sub-zero temperatures expected across the country.

Oli Claydon, spokesman for the Met Office said the lowest temperatures will be recorded in rural Scotland and rural northern England where there is lying snow, cloudless skies and very cold airflow.

With further snow predicted today in London and the south, it has been revealed which car is the most reliable to drive in the white stuff.

A Toyota Rav 4 or a Skoda Kodiaq are the most reliable, according to data from GSF Car Parts.

The advice when driving out in the snow is also to check bulbs, tyre pressure and tread depth.

It is also recommended to keep essential items in your car such as an ice scraper, de-icer, in-car phone charger, warm blanket, and extra clothes.

A fault with the signalling system between London Waterloo and Vauxhall means trains running between these stations may be cancelled or revised.

This is impacting services between London Waterloo and Chessington South/Dorking/Guildford/Hampton Court/Woking/Weybridge/ Shepperton/Twickenham.

Disruption is expected until at least 2pm.

There are 85 flood warnings in place today, meaning flooding is expected.

It comes after people were hit by severe flooding that affected homes and businesses across the Midlands and a man had to be rescued from a flooded caravan park in Leicestershire’s Barrow upon Soar.

A yellow weather warning for snow is in place today for London and the south.

According to Met Office forecaster, Jason Kelly, this is what London and the south can expect.

He said: ‘Weather conditions will start to change from the southwest on Wednesday, with fronts from the Atlantic bringing milder air along with moisture.

‘As this moisture encounters the cold air, snowfall is expected particularly over higher ground and away from the coast. However, there is still uncertainty about how far north these fronts will reach. They could either skirt the south or move into southern England.

‘Currently, a snow warning is in place, but it is not guaranteed. The situation is being closely monitored. As the forecast is finely balanced, do stay up to date with the latest forecast for your area.’

Flood warnings are still in place for some areas in the UK and around 200 properties have been left flooded in Lincolnshire.

These include in places like Market Deeping and outside Boston, Lincoln and Scunthorpe.

Lincolnshire Resilience Forum (LRF) said it was continuing ‘to monitor the situation and support residents in certain areas where there are still concerns’ despite the flood water receding.

The LRF said: ‘Temperatures are expected to fall below zero from 3pm every day until the weekend and driving conditions are likely to be challenging, so motorists are advised to drive to the conditions.’

There are also 15 road closures including in Boston, Greatford and Wainfleet, which were among the worst flood-affected areas in the region.

A walker with hypothermia had to be saved by mountain rescue after they got trapped in some deep snow near Glossop, Derbyshire.

Glossop Mountain Rescue Team were called out at 3.21pm yesterday but could not find the walker’s exact location at first.

Snow on the moor was drifting up to 3ft in depth, making their job even harder.

The walker was eventually found in the Hern Stones area and provided with warm blankets due to hypothermia.

About 60 volunteers – 30 from Glossop Mountain Rescue, 18 from Edale Mountain Rescue and 12 from Kinder Mountain Rescue – were involved in the rescue effort.

The walker was taken to a waiting ambulance for treatment.

Train services between Aldershot and Ascot are disrupted because all lines are blocked due to flooding.

Trains running through these stations will be cancelled.

The disruption is expected until 12pm.

There has been an update to the yellow weather warning for snow covering southern England from 9am until midnight.

Part of east Kent has been removed from the warning but it has been extended further into the south west of England.

The Met Office said: ‘Outbreaks of sleet and snow are likely to push in from the southwest during Wednesday, affecting some places especially during the afternoon and evening.

‘Many places will probably see relatively little or no snow settling, (especially on tarmac), but there could be 1-2 cm locally.’

There is no service on the Lioness line between Watford Junction and Willesden Junction and severe delays between Willesden Junction and Euston while Network Rail fix a faulty train at South Kenton.

Tickets are being accepted on London buses and London Underground Services via reasonable routes.
