The Met Office at Ronaldsway has now lifted the amber weather warning in the Isle of Man.

On the official gov.im website the met office reports in its latest bulletin there are now ’no weather warnings’ in place.

Here is the latest island bulletin:

Generally dry and becoming brighter with spells of sunshine developing. The fresh easterly winds will back northeast and gradually decrease this afternoon; temperature only 4 or 5 Celsius at best.

This evening and tonight a sharp frost will develop with temperatures falling sub-zero and, perhaps, as low as minus 4 Celsius in places.

Icy stretches are likely, and towards dawn there may be one or two localised wintry showers.

Then tomorrow will see plenty of sunny intervals and only a few scattered wintry showers.

MEANWHILE heavy snowfall across parts of the UK is causing widespread disruption, closing roads and grounding flights at an airport.

Severe weather is forecast for a swathe of North Wales and central England on Sunday and snow has already fallen on parts of Powys, Herefordshire and Shropshire at a rate of several centimetres an hour.

Significant build-ups have been also reported in Leicestershire, Worcestershire and Bedfordshire, while snow has been falling heavily in Birmingham city centre.

Flights have been suspended at Birmingham Airport while the runway is cleared, leaving passengers facing delays, while a north-bound section of the M1 has been closed in Leicestershire due to numerous vehicles being stranded.

Police forces in Wales and across the Midlands have urged motorists not to travel unless ’absolutely necessary’ as they deal with surging calls.

Persistent heavy snowfall is expected in the region throughout the morning, leading the Met Office to issue an amber weather warning that will be in place until 6pm.

Up to 10cm is expected to build up quite widely, with 15-20cm in some spots, raising the prospect of roads becoming impassable.

The amber alert is accompanied by a yellow warning of wind for parts of eastern England, London and the South East, the South West and Wales that could bring "short-term loss of power and other services" as well as transport disruption.

London and the rest of southern England and Wales will instead be lashed by strong winds and rain, where gusts could reach 70mph, according to the Met Office.
