A yellow fog warning is in place across London and parts of England and Wales on Sunday. The Met Office warned of likely travel delays, with some dense fog patches reducing visibility to less than 100 metres. The warning is scheduled to remain until 10am, though the forecaster said some patches of fog could last until the afternoon.

The warning covers London, the East Midlands, East of England, South East England, North West England, South West England, the West Midlands and Yorkshire and Humber in England. In Wales, it includes Denbighshire, Monmouthshire, Powys, Torfaen and Wrexham. Motorists are advised to check road conditions before driving and ensure fog lights are functional. Airline passengers should prepare for delayed or cancelled flights.

The fog warning follows another issued on Friday and comes after recent storms brought significant rainfall to England. Storms Austen and Boelo caused England to have its wettest week since October 2024, leading to increased river levels across many parts of the country.
