Yellow weather warning issued for dangeorus ‘freezing fog’

Dense fog that could reduce visibility to below 100 metres set to blanket UK after sharp overnight frost

A yellow weather warning has been issued as a dangerous “freezing fog” is set to blanket parts of the UK after a sharp frost overnight. By Saturday morning, the fog could be so dense that visibility drops to below 100 metres in some places, the Met Office has said.

England, Wales and eastern Scotland are likely to face freezing fog patches and a risk of ice. It will become milder across western Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland as cloud and patchy rain move in with brisk winds in the far north-west.
