Night hours may bring ice to the roads

Temperatures are expected to drop below zero, causing potential icy conditions on smaller roads overnight and early in the morning according to traffic management authorities in Estonia.

Estonian traffic management authorities have warned that air and road temperatures are set to fall below zero on Sunday evening, which could lead to icy conditions on smaller roads during the night and early morning. This weather pattern is notably concerning for motorists who might not expect slick surfaces on less trafficked routes.

The weather forecast indicates that skies will be variably cloudy with little to no precipitation in the evening and night. However, there is a risk of fog in certain areas, which could further decrease visibility on the roads. The combination of low temperatures and fog could pose additional safety risks for drivers.

As winter approaches, it is crucial for drivers in Estonia to remain vigilant and adjust their driving habits accordingly. With the likelihood of icy patches and reduced visibility, authorities recommend taking extra precautions, particularly on smaller roads that are often less maintained during adverse weather.
