Snow set to hit Belfast

Solicitors in Northern Ireland should be prepared for a rise in road traffic accident claims after wintery weather is set to cause hazardous driving conditions, with snow expected in Belfast.

Some solicitors may report a rise in traffic accidents in Belfast and Northern Ireland as icy conditions and strong winds are set to combine with sleet to make it dangerous on the roads.

According to the Belfast Telegraph, temperatures will drop below freezing this Friday night, with the northern and western parts of the province worst affected.

The bad spell is expected to start this Wednesday, with strong winds bringing in heavy snow showers on Thursday.

A spokesperson for PA Weather told the newspaper: "Sleet and hail showers are expected on Thursday and as we go through the day, temperatures will become increasingly cold with the emergence of snow showers.

"These will be across the north and west of Northern Ireland but given the strong winds, it's likely Belfast will experience some snow."

On Friday, temperatures are expected to drop to minus four degrees.

The spokesperson added: "It will be pretty chilly in Northern Ireland on Thursday and Friday but things will be warming up over the weekend."

Solicitors can breathe a sigh of relief on Saturday as the weather in Belfast and Northern Ireland is set to improve.
