Travellers have been warned to expect delays on roads, rail and in the air after the Met Office issued a yellow fog warning for much of the UK. The warning covers fog moving out from the South, including the Isle of Wight, to Central England, the North-west, North-east and Northern Ireland, with southern parts of Scotland also covered in a blanket of fog through this morning (November 29). Wales appears to have escaped the worst of the conditions.
The Met Office is warning of slower journey times throughout much of the country, with delays to bus and train services possible and the chance of delays or cancellations to flights. It says: "Areas of fog, dense in places, have developed and will be stubborn to clear through much of this morning.
"Whilst some fog is likely to persist all day, many places will see this lifting into low cloud or clear by this afternoon."
The Met Office is advising motorists to avoid travel if possible until the fog clears. It says that those who need to be in their car should drive very slowly with dipped headlights as full-beam lights reflect off the fog to cause a 'white wall' effect. Fog lights should be switched off when visibility improves.
Flights could be delayed because air traffic controllers will need to increase the gap between planes that are landing and taking off. Travellers are advised to check with their airline before setting off.
The Met Office says that parts of the following areas will be affected until the fog lifts around lunchtime: East Midlands, West Midlands, London & the South-east, the South-west, Yorkshire and Humber, Hampshire, North-east, North-west, Northern Ireland, South-west Scotland and Lothian Borders.
