The Met Office has issued a second yellow weather warning for fog, covering western Northern Ireland, with the alert in place until 10am on Monday (November 9).
Second Warning Issued
Forecasters issued a yellow warning for fog earlier on Sunday (November 8), beginning at 6pm that evening and extending to 11am on Monday. That warning covers south east England, East Anglia, the Midlands, and parts of Yorkshire.
At around 10pm on Sunday night, the service issued a second yellow weather warning — also for fog. This alert covers the western portion of Northern Ireland, including Derry, Enniskillen, and Newry.
Potential Travel Disruption
The Met Office warned: “Fog patches forming overnight and into Monday morning, may lead to disruption to travel.
“Slower journey times with delays to bus and train services possible. There is a chance of delays or cancellations to flights.”
The warning for Northern Ireland covers County Antrim, County Armagh, County Down, County Fermanagh, County Londonderry, and County Tyrone.
Visibility and Advice
Visibility is likely to be less than 100 metres in parts, but the fog should lift by lunchtime on Monday. The advice for the millions of people living under the weather warning is the same on either side of the Irish Sea.
Experts added: “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.”
