Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 1 Nov, 05:08 · Archive

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for fog in York and parts of North Yorkshire, with visibility potentially reduced to 100 metres.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for York and parts of North Yorkshire, as well as the East Riding of Yorkshire, due to widespread fog. The warning was issued at 11.18pm on Saturday and remains in force until 10am on Sunday morning.

According to the Met Office forecast, Saturday morning will see widespread fog and mist reducing visibility significantly, particularly in rural areas. Very light winds at around 2 mph are expected, making it unlikely the fog will clear quickly. Rain is not expected, with probabilities below 5 per cent. Temperatures will hover around 6C. By the afternoon, the fog should gradually lift, with brighter and sunnier intervals developing as temperatures rise to 9C to 10C.

Sunday morning is forecast to begin similarly, with widespread fog expected during the early hours. The fog will gradually lift into overcast conditions from around 8am onwards. Rain probabilities will remain relatively low at between 10 and 20 per cent. Temperatures will start around 5C and gradually increase to 9C by late morning.

The UK weather agency stated that fog could limit visibility down to 100 metres in places, causing delays and making for difficult travel conditions. The warning is expected to persist through Sunday morning before slowly lifting and clearing.

The afternoon should bring improvement, with overcast skies gradually giving way to brighter conditions and occasional sunny intervals. Temperatures will rise to approximately 12C during the early to mid-afternoon, with winds slightly stronger at around 5 mph. The evening will remain largely dry and settled, with mist or fog potentially redeveloping in some sheltered locations towards the early hours of Monday.
