A Met Office spokesperson said: "Persistent rain over southern Scotland and the far north of England will increasingly fall as snow above around 100m during Wednesday afternoon and overnight into Thursday.

"A few centimetres of wet snow may accumulate down to around 100m but above 200m 10-15cm may settle with perhaps 20-30cm above 400m.

"Rain is more likely on lowest ground near the east coast and may bring some localised surface water flooding."
