Summarised from 2 outlets · 3 reports · Updated 1 Nov, 11:13 · Archive

The Met Office has issued a yellow fog warning across much of England and Wales, with visibility dropping to under 100 metres in dense patches.

A yellow fog warning is in place across parts of England and Wales on Sunday, with the Met Office warning of likely travel delays. In some dense fog patches, visibility will drop to fewer than 100 metres. The warning covers the East Midlands, East of England, London and South East England, North West England, South West England, the West Midlands and Yorkshire and Humber in England, as well as Denbighshire, Monmouthshire, Powys, Torfaen and Wrexham in Wales.

The heavy fog warning is in place until 10am, though some patches of fog could last until the afternoon. People can expect traffic delays and those flying should plan for delayed or cancelled flights. The Met Office recommended checking road conditions before driving and ensuring fog lights are functional.

Tom Morgan, meteorologist at the Met Office, said most of the fog was starting to lift and clear by Sunday morning. He advised: 'If you are travelling, give yourself some extra time for your journey, use fog lights if you have them.' The forecaster said the fog would be 'less of an issue' over the next few days, with high pressure bringing dry weather across most of the country and even sunny spells for some.
