The Met Office has officially removed all weather alerts for Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, as of February 16, 2026. This follows a weekend of snow and ice that caused travel concerns across the region.
The previous warnings for snow and ice were in place from Friday, February 13, through to Sunday, February 15, 2026. These alerts were triggered by a cold air mass moving down from the Arctic, which brought freezing temperatures and snow to much of the north.
During the cold spell, official warnings predicted that transport services including buses and trains could face longer journey times due to the ice. The removal of these alerts today means the immediate threat to travel and safety has been lowered for local residents.
While the main warnings are gone, the local forecast still predicts some windy showers and wintry conditions on higher ground. Drivers and pedestrians are encouraged to stay careful as surfaces may still be slippery where ice melts and freezes again during the day.
