The Met Office has issued three yellow weather warnings for snow and ice in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, with icy conditions expected to last until the morning of February 15, 2026. These warnings come as temperatures drop, creating a risk of slippery roads and pavements for residents and commuters across the region.
The first period of caution ends at midday on February 13, 2026, followed by a second warning starting at 4:00 PM the same day until 10:00 AM on February 14, 2026. A final warning will be in place from 9:00 PM on February 14, 2026, until 10:00 AM on February 15, 2026. Forecasters say showers of snow and hail could lead to small accumulations of 1-3 cm in some areas, while higher ground could see between 10-15 cm of snow.
Residents should also prepare for the risk of freezing rain, which is rain that turns to ice the moment it hits the cold ground. This can make walking and driving particularly dangerous, especially on untreated side streets. Because of the wintry weather, people may experience delays with bus and train services, and trips to work or school may take longer than usual.
Gritting teams from Middlesbrough Council are currently focusing on treating main routes to keep traffic moving. While these major roads are being salted, smaller residential streets are usually not treated unless there is an extreme situation. Officials suggest that people should be careful when clearing their driveways or walking on icy footpaths.
