Much of the north and north-east has been covered in snow, with a yellow weather warning extended until Friday, but what can we expect in the next 24 hours?

The Met Office’s yellow weather warning for snow and ice, which covers most of the north of Scotland, came into effect at 6pm on Sunday and has been extended to last until 10am on Wednesday.

Another yellow warning for snow, which covers Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, Moray, Inverness and the south-west Highlands, is in place from 3am on Thursday until 6pm on Friday.

Today’s heavy snow caused chaos across the region, with multiple crashes and flights delayed.

More than five inches of snow was reported in Altnaharra in Sutherland, as well as Dyce in Aberdeen, where the city’s airport is located.

In the coming days, snow showers are expected to “continue feeding off northern coastal areas”, however they are expected to “peter out” before they get too far inland.

Due to the low temperatures however, snow is expected to build in the next couple of days, with more to come until Friday, when the weather warning comes to an end.

The region will see mixed weather in the next 24 hours, with a variety of differences throughout.
