The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for fog across parts of Essex. The warning is in effect from 6pm tonight until 11am Monday, indicating a high likelihood of fog with moderate impact.

Fog patches are expected to form during Sunday evening and overnight, becoming extensive by Monday morning. Some dense patches of fog are predicted, with visibility potentially dropping to around 50 metres or less in some places. The fog is expected to thin slowly later on Monday morning.

The warning could affect multiple forms of transport. Road users are likely to experience slower journey times, whilst bus and train services may suffer delays. There is also a chance of flight cancellations or delays at local airports.

The Met Office advises drivers to check road conditions, allow extra time for journeys and ensure fog lights are working before setting off. Passengers using public transport are advised to check for updates from travel providers and follow their guidance.

Residents are encouraged to stay informed about the latest forecasts, as the warning could be updated or changed as conditions develop. The fog is expected to ease gradually later in the morning as the warning period concludes.
