A weather warning for snow showers has been extended but the temperature is set to double by the weekend.

Ronaldsway Met Office has extended the yellow warning for snow until 2pm on Thursday afternoon as many woke up to a dusting of snow and a lot of ice and frost.

The Met Office says: ‘Snow showers could impact places as low as 800ft this morning, and temporarily to low-levels due to hail.’

But the cold snap we have experienced over the last few days will not last much longer.

While it is hardly going to turn tropical, there will be a significant rise in temperature as we approach the weekend.

There are highs of just 5C and falling to lows of -2Cand it will be a similar story on Friday with a risk of frost and ice in the morning.

But it will become noticeably milder on Saturday with highs of 7C and not dipping below freezing. It will be largely dry but there is a risk of drizzle and light rain with strong winds later.

However, Sunday will be even milder with highs of 11C and lows of 6C. It will be a similar story to Saturday with cloud and the odd chance of patchy rain.

Into next week and Monday will be warmer still with highs of 12C and mostly dry with a chance of rain later.
