Drivers are being warned to be cautious on Tuesday morning (November 29) as the Met Office places a weather warning for fog across much of the nation.

The warning comes as the weather forecaster says that the fog is likely to be dense and could result in slower journey times and delays for travel serious. 

As a spokesperson for the Met Office shared: "Areas of fog, dense in places, have developed and will be stubborn to clear through much of this morning.

"Whilst some fog is likely to persist all day, many places will see this lifting into low cloud or clear by this afternoon."

Much of the UK is set to be affected by the fog, with the warning covering the North East area of Newcastle all the way down to Bournemouth.

Parts of Scotland are also affected, seeing the South West areas of Dumfries and Galloway, along with all of Northern Ireland. 

What to expect from Met Office fog warning

The Met Office has told those travelling this morning to expect: 

  • Slower journey times with delays to bus and train services are possible
  • There is a chance of delays or cancellations of flights
