Summarised from 2 outlets · 3 reports · Updated 1 Nov, 10:23 · Archive

A yellow fog warning covers parts of England and Wales until 10am, with visibility potentially below 100 metres.

A yellow fog warning is in place across much of England and Wales, including London, the South East, East Midlands, East of England, North West England, South West England, the West Midlands, and Yorkshire and Humber. In Wales, the affected areas are Denbighshire, Monmouthshire, Powys, Torfaen, and Wrexham. The warning is in effect until 10am, though the Met Office said some areas might experience fog patches into the afternoon.

Visibility is expected to drop below 100 metres in some areas. The Met Office warns of potential delays to road, rail, flight and ferry services. A Met Office spokesperson said most fog is starting to lift and clear, with visibilities not as bad as earlier. They advised: 'If you are travelling, give yourself some extra time for your journey, use fog lights if you have them. Be prepared, perhaps, for some travel disruption.' Drivers are also urged to check road conditions before setting off and ensure fog lights are operational.

The fog warning comes days after heavy rainfall caused by Storms Austen and Boelo, which raised river levels across the country. The Met Office spokesperson added that high pressure will dominate in coming days, with the weather largely dry across most of the UK, though a few showers are possible in Kent and south-east England on Monday and Tuesday. The dry conditions are expected to allow outdoor Bonfire Night celebrations on Thursday.
