A yellow weather warning has been issued for the East of England as heavy rain and snow is set to hit in the next few days.

While we may have missed out on a white Christmas, several bouts of snow could fall in the county in the lead up to New Year's Eve.

The Met office issued the warning for tomorrow (Wednesday, December 27), as rain is likely to turn to snow in some areas.

A spokesperson for the Met Office said: "Some roads and railways are likely to be affected by longer journey times due to standing water or snow.

"Some delays to air travel due to snow are possible. There is also a smaller chance that individual homes and businesses could be flooded."

Temperatures are expected to hit freezing tomorrow, with it turning even colder on Thursday (December 28) with lows of -1C.

However, temperatures are set to rise into double figures towards the end of the week, with Sunday (December 31) reaching highs of 11C.
