The warning, which has a high (50-75%) likelihood and a moderate impact, reads: “Fog leading to difficult travel conditions and possible delays.
“Slower journey times with delays to bus and train services possible. There is a chance of delays or cancellations to flights.

Make sure you know how to switch on your fog lights, and check they are working before setting off on your journey. Bus and train services, as well as flights and ferry travel may also be affected; check for updates from your travel company and follow their advice.
