A thick blanket of fog will cover a large portion of the United Kingdom in the coming days – prompting the Met Office to issue a yellow weather warning. Driving conditions could worsen as the fog descends from Exeter to York, covering some parts of Wales.

Meteorologist Clare Nasir said: ‘In fact, that’s how we see this evening and overnight, stubborn cloud anywhere from the Midlands, East Anglia down towards the South East. ‘A lot of cloud across the northwest of Scotland, with some outbreaks of rain in between, some clearer skies.’.
‘Elsewhere with those clearer skies, we’ll probably see some pockets of frost, so temperatures dipping close to freezing, if not below, and again, with a lighter breeze, fog will re-form anywhere from central and southern parts of England and Wales down towards the west country.’.
Trains, buses and flights could see delays during the foggy conditions, which could mean slower journey times, according to the Met Office. Heavy fog cancelled dozens of flights and delayed others in late December last year. Heathrow, Gatwick, London City, Manchester and Glasgow were just some of the airports affected by the lingering fog which began just after Christmas.
