The national forecaster says a yellow alert for snow and ice means some roads and railways are likely to be affected, leading to longer journey times by car, bus and train.
Snow and sleet falling on frozen surfaces may lead to icy conditions, increasing the risk of accidents and injuries while the combination of wind and snow may cause some drifting and very poor visibilities, especially over hills and moors.
The latest warning comes after the record for the coldest night of the year so far was broken for the second night in a row.
Braemer, in Aberdeenshire, was the coldest place in the UK on Tuesday night, recording a low of minus 17.3C, breaking Monday’s record of minus 15.7C.
The next coldest temperature on Tuesday night was also recorded in Aberdeenshire, at minus 14.9C in Balmoral.
In Southampton and the New Forest, overnight temperatures will remain between 1C and minus 1C.
Temperatures during the day tomorrow will see highs of 3C.
