UK Met Office issues fog warnings for England and Wales

The Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings for parts of England and Wales due to dense fog, which is expected to create hazardous driving conditions. Visibility on roads is predicted to drop below 100 metres in some areas, potentially causing delays for road, rail, bus, and ferry travel.

While the initial warnings focused on the Midlands, East of England, Yorkshire, and parts of Wales, the fog is expected to persist into next week. As high pressure becomes the dominant weather system, the threat of mist and fog is projected to shift northwards, affecting the Scottish glens, the Central Belt, and parts of Northern Ireland.

Travel organizations, including the AA, have urged motorists to exercise caution, increase following distances, and avoid relying solely on automatic headlights. While some areas near Heathrow and Stansted airports were included in warnings, major flight disruptions have not been reported as of the latest updates.
