The UK is finally set to see milder weather after weeks of yellow warnings, rain and wintry conditions.

The Met Office said this weekend could see highs of up to 16C as three separate yellow warnings expire this morning.

Icy stretches are still expected across much of Wales as temperatures fall either close to or below freezing, with forecasters advising caution on slippery pavements and road surfaces.
