Summarised from 2 outlets · 3 reports · Updated 30 Oct, 07:09 · Archive

Norfolk faces fog hazards after storms, with a yellow weather warning in place for west of the county until 10am.

Norfolk is set for calmer weather after Storms Austen and Boelo battered the county with high winds over the weekend. The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for fog in west Norfolk, including King's Lynn and Downham Market, affecting morning commuters until 10am. Travel disruption is expected, including slower journey times and delays to bus and train services.

High pressure is building across the UK, bringing lighter winds and predominantly dry conditions to eastern England. However, clearer skies and light winds could allow mist and fog to develop overnight and in the mornings. In Norwich, the Met Office is forecasting highs of 15C on Thursday, October 29, when morning fog is expected to clear slowly before brighter conditions develop. Friday is forecast to remain largely fine, with sunny spells and a high of 16C. Saturday's Halloween conditions are expected to be fairly settled, with sunny intervals turning partly cloudy by night and temperatures reaching 14C. Sunday is expected to be cooler and more overcast, reaching 13C with little sunshine.

The Met Office advises checking road conditions before driving, leaving extra journey time and ensuring fog lights are working. High pressure is expected to remain influential into early November, with overnight and morning fog potentially becoming more likely, particularly towards eastern parts of the country where it could be more widespread and dense.
