The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for dense fog across southern parts of England until tomorrow, with the severe weather conditions potentially cancelling flights.

The warning will be in place from 10pm tonight across the East and West Midlands, London, East Wales, the South East and East of England, and is expected to be lifted at about 12pm tomorrow.

The Met Office also issued a statement on its website warning people about travel disruption over the coming hours as visibility could drop “lower than 100 metres at times”.

Elsewhere, the Met Office said that after the fog warning lifts tomorrow, southern and central areas could see sunny conditions.

Temperatures are expected to be mostly near average before frost and fog returns once its dark.

In northern Scotland, it may also be windy with patchy rain.

The outlook between Thursday to Saturday warned of colder conditions in the South with fog returning due to low cloud, which could become more widespread as the weekend progresses.

It may also be milder further in the North with occasional outbreaks of rain and stronger winds.
