Met Office issues rare fog warning as Brits must do five things before driving

Met Office weather forecasters have warned Brits to take five steps as they release a weather warning for “dense” fog.

The warning states: “Areas of fog will continue to develop through Wednesday evening and overnight and, in places, will be dense with visibility below 100 metres.

“Some of the fog will tend to thin and lift into low cloud across parts of southern England and the southeast Midlands by dawn, but is likely to persist in a corridor from southwest England through the rest of the Midlands to Lincolnshire and Yorkshire until late morning.”Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, leaving extra journey time, or amending plans if necessary. 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.”Be prepared for weather warnings to change: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.”
