Level one and two weather warnings have been issued on Friday by the Enviroment Agency due to strong winds, snow and glazed ice.

A level two "dangerous weather" warning has been announced for the west coast Lake Peipus over strong wind gusts.

On Friday evening in western Estonia these will reach 20-23 m/s and up to 20 m/s in the northeast.

Dense sleet is forecast across the country in a northeasterly direction. Snow and snowdrifts are forecast in the east.

The visibility is expected to be poor in Eastern Estonia making traffic conditions difficult. Glazed ice is also expected.
