Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 30 Oct, 10:47 · Archive

A yellow fog warning is in force across Essex and the east of England, with visibility expected to drop below 100 metres at times.

The Met Office issued a yellow fog warning at 4.18am for the east of England including Essex and parts of the Midlands, London and the South East. Dense fog could reduce visibility to below 100 metres at times, with the most widespread disruption expected during the morning rush hour.

Road, rail, bus, ferry and air travel are all potentially affected. The Met Office has warned drivers to expect slower journeys and advised them to check road conditions, allow extra time and consider changing their plans if necessary. Passengers on public transport have been advised to check for updates from their travel company before setting off.

The fog is expected to gradually thin, lift and clear later this morning. However, in some rural areas of eastern England it may remain until this afternoon. The Met Office assessed the warning as having a very high likelihood, above 75 per cent, and a moderate impact.
