Motorists have been warned to take care on the region’s roads as early morning drivers battled through thick fog to make their way to their destinations.

The Met Office issued a yellow warning across the east, south and west of England, as fog made visibility poor in the early hours of the morning.

The Met Office warning stated: “Areas of fog will be dense in places across southern and eastern parts of England at first this morning and may cause some disruption to travel.”

The chief forecaster’s assessment of the warning said the fog was becoming more widespread and locally dense across eastern England, while extensive low cloud is continuing to lower across southern counties of England leading to fog on hills and at lower levels in some places.

It added: “The fog will lift into low cloud during the first part of the morning in the south, but a few dense patches will persist in the east until mid to late morning.”
