The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for fog, in force from 6pm on Sunday until 11am on Monday, covering much of England, the Midlands and parts of Wales. The Met Office said weather conditions were creating a “perfect recipe” for fog and warned that travel may be disrupted. According to BBC News, visibility could fall below 50 metres in places, and bus, train, ferry and flight services could face delays or cancellations. An earlier Met Office warning, reported by Sky News on Saturday, covered parts of England from midnight on Saturday to late Sunday morning. Fog is expected to lift gradually through Monday morning, though some patches could linger into the afternoon.
