Commuters across the UK are facing severe travel disruption this morning as dense fog blankets large parts of the country. The Met Office has issued a weather warning, with visibility dropping below 100 metres in some rural areas, particularly across the Midlands and the Home Counties.
The fog is expected to linger until around 10am, causing slower journey times and delays to bus, train, and flight services. Birmingham Airport, Bristol Airport, and East Midlands Airport are on high alert, even though they lie just outside the official warning zone.
Driving conditions are treacherous, especially on rural roads and motorways such as the M40, M5, and M1. The Met Office advises drivers to check road conditions, allow extra time, and ensure fog lights are working. Passengers should check with travel operators for updates on services.
After the fog clears, rain is expected, particularly along the western coast of Wales, Lancashire, and Cumbria. Temperatures will be cooler than Tuesday, with highs of 8-9°C in the southeast, compared to Tuesday's peak of 12.6°C in Slough, Berkshire.
