Adverse weather information
Last updated: 9 January 2026, 2pm
The University is fully open with all activities taking place as normal.
Snow fell on Worcester and the surrounding area on the evening of 8 January. The University campuses and the surrounding roads are all clear but there may still be some snow in other parts of the region..
The University’s practice is to remain open during adverse weather, including snow. In recent years the University has invested in snow-clearing equipment, which helps Campus Services teams to clear pathways on campus quickly and efficiently.
If conditions are poor, please ensure that you travel safely and take all sensible precautions. If you are driving, you may wish to consider where your car is parked overnight (avoiding steep drives, for example) and try to wait until the roads have been gritted. There is some general guidance on road travel in wintery conditions on the Met Office website and on the AA website. You can find useful traffic and travel updates on the Worcester News website and also on BBC Hereford and Worcester radio.
We will continue to publish the latest information on this page.
