The alert was due to be in force until 10am but it was updated at about 9am when forecasters said it no longer included Kent.

But now the weather experts have issued a further yellow weather warning lasting between 9pm today to 10am tomorrow.

Icy patches are expected to form overnight and the Met Office has warned there could be some injuries from slips and falls.

There could also be some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.

Cloud is expected to clear this evening and overnight allowing temperatures to fall close to freezing, according to the Met Office.

A few showers are also expected across the county which may lead to more widespread ice in the area.

Major routes across Kent are seeing serious problems leading to delays throughout the county today.

Crashes and emergency repairs have been causing issues on motorways, the railways and ferry routes across the Channel and 60-minute delays at the Dartford Crossing.

Snow has fallen across Kent this morning leaving parts of the county looking particularly festive.
