Hartlepool can expect ‘awkward mix of rain, sleet and snow’ as yellow weather warnings issued
Two yellow weather warnings have been issued for the town by the Met Office as Storm Goretti makes its away across the country.
Hartlepool has been issued a yellow weather warning for snow and ice until 3pm today (Saturday, January 10), and from 2am until 3pm on Sunday, January 11.
According to the Met Office, a spell of snow and ice will lead to some disruption across the weekend, although the impact is expected to be low.
The Met Office said: “Amounts of snow will depend quite heavily on both elevation and the intensity of precipitation, and as the band pushes east through the afternoon, it will begin to transition to an awkward mix of rain, sleet and snow.
"Therefore there is likely to be a lot of variation.”
Temperatures are cooler on Saturday, reaching highs of three degrees Celsius and lows of zero degrees Celsius.
Sunday is expected to be milder however, with temperatures ranging from eight degrees Celsius to one degree Celsius.
Next week is looking more positive, with Hartlepool expected to hit double figures on Monday, January 12, with some sun between 9am and 3pm.
