BRITS are bracing for more travel chaos as thick fog sweeps the UK - with hundreds of flights axed and millions on the move after Christmas. Today will be cloudy and murky for much of England and Wales, bringing patchy fog and drizzle. Rain will push slowly southeastwards across Scotland, followed by sunny spells and blustery showers.

It comes after more than 20,000 people faced delayed flights to and from the UK yesterday amid thick fog. The lingering fog could see more flight delays at major UK airports this morning, before it lifts this afternoon. Meanwhile, Britain's two busiest stations will shut for a total of nine days - sparking rail chaos for millions.

London's Liverpool Street station is shut for "major engineering work" until January 2. Paddington station on the other side of central London is also closed until tomorrow. Tonight will also see a mix of light rain and cloudy, murky weather to the south.

Later on it will be clearer, cooler and breezier - before more rain arrives in north west Scotland. Heavy rain will slowly edge south across Scotland tomorrow, forecasters said. Elsewhere it will be breezier and brighter than of late, with some sunny spells.
A little light rain is also possible over western hills up and down the country. It will be windy on Monday with some more outbreaks of rain around the UK. New Year's Eve will also be unsettled - with rain and hill snow forecaster for the start of 2025 up north.
