Met Office Issues Yellow Fog Warning – Travel Chaos Expected This Morning
Dense Fog to Hit London and South East
The Met Office has slapped a Yellow weather warning on the South East, including London, as thick fog blankets the region this morning.
Visibility will plunge below 100 metres in places, with patches of freezing fog causing icy conditions on roads and pavements. The early morning fog is expected to clear as the day progresses, but not before causing some serious disruption.
Travel Advice: Stay Safe on Foggy Roads
Fog is no joke when it comes to travel safety. It drifts quickly and can be patchy, fooling drivers and creating dangerous conditions.
- Avoid travel if you can.
- Drive slowly with dipped headlights. Avoid full beams – they create a blinding “white wall” effect.
- Keep speeds in check. Fog makes everything seem slower than it actually is.
- Use fog lights, but remember to switch them off when visibility improves.
- Don’t tailgate. Car rear lights can be deceptive in fog.
- Watch for freezing fog. It can coat roads and surfaces with ice in seconds.
What to Expect on Your Journey
- Longer travel times and delays, especially on buses and trains.
Stay alert, drive carefully, and check the latest updates before heading out. Dense fog means travel disruption is on the cards this morning.
