UK Fog Chaos: Morning Rush Hour Hit by Yellow Warning
30 Oct
Summary
- A yellow fog warning affects 28 UK areas, worst during rush hour.
- Visibility may drop below 100 metres, impacting travel significantly.
- Mild temperatures expected after fog clears, with rain in Scotland.
A yellow warning for dense fog is currently active across 28 areas of the UK, with the most severe impacts anticipated during the morning rush hour. Visibility may fall below 100 metres in affected regions, primarily across central England and extending to areas like Surrey and Lincolnshire.
The Met Office forecasts that the fog will gradually lift and clear throughout the morning, though some rural spots in eastern England may experience lingering fog until the afternoon. Commuters are advised to expect slower journey times, potential delays to bus and train services, and possible disruptions to flights.
This follows England's wettest week in two years, with storms Austen and Boelo bringing substantial rainfall. Despite these recent downpours, much of the country officially remains in drought. The forecast for later today suggests largely bright conditions with sunny spells and mild temperatures, though some rain is possible in northwest Scotland.
