Yellow warnings for snow across part of Scotland have been brought forward as Arctic air moves over the country, possibly leading to the coldest temperature of the year so far.The Met Office said temperatures could drop below minus 10C on Monday night on higher ground in northern Scotland, with northerly winds making it feel even colder.

The wintry conditions could lead to up to 10cm of snow on higher ground in Scotland and 5cm at lower levels.Forecasters have issued a yellow warning starting at 6pm on Sunday for snow in the north-east of Scotland, including Shetland.

It advises this could cause disruption to travel, with “some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services”.From midnight on Sunday, the yellow warnings of snow and ice spread further across north-eastern Scotland, and creep further down the east coast on Tuesday.

Meteorologist Honor Criswick said: “We are expecting a few more snow shower outbreaks into this evening and seeing a bit more snowfall early on, which is why the warning was brought forward.
