Residents in Royal Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, should prepare for a drop in temperature as the Met Office forecasts sleet and wintry showers from Friday, 13 February 2026. A colder air mass moving across the West Midlands is expected to bring a mix of rain and snow through the weekend, with overnight frosts possible.
People travelling for work or driving children to school can expect icy patches on roads and potential delays on major routes such as the A452 and A445. The Met Office’s safety guidance advises allowing extra time for journeys — “plan to leave the house at least five minutes earlier than normal” — to reduce the risk of accidents, slips and falls in slippery conditions.
Warwickshire County Council says its gritting teams are ready to treat more than 1,100 miles of the county’s road network. Crews will prioritise main roads, A- and B-roads and routes to hospitals to help prevent ice forming as surfaces cool.
Local public spaces, including Jephson Gardens and the Royal Pump Room Gardens, may also become slippery for pedestrians during this cold snap. Residents are encouraged to monitor local updates on road treatments and to check the latest Met Office forecasts and warnings over the weekend.
