THE Met Office has issued a warning of ice for Yorkshire and the Humber for Sunday night through to Monday morning - although temperatures in the Bradford district are forecast to rise.

The yellow warning is in force from 6pm on Sunday until 8am on Monday but does not directly affect Bradford.

A Met Office spokesperson said that icy patches were likely to form across some areas of the region on Sunday night and last into Monday morning.

"With surfaces left wet, from Sunday afternoon's mix of rain, sleet and snow, icy patches are likely to form overnight and into Monday morning on any untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths. Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces are possible."
