Met Office Issues 50m Fog Warning Across England, Wales and Northern Ireland

Summary
Yellow fog warnings cover much of England and eastern Wales until 11:00 Monday, with a separate Northern Ireland alert running until 10:00.
Visibility could drop below 50 metres as clearer overnight skies let heat escape and temperatures fall, producing widespread fog and ground frost.
Heathrow told passengers to allow extra time and check with airlines, while drivers and public transport users were warned of possible road, rail, ferry and flight disruption.
Travel risks were underscored after fog over the weekend contributed to a 30-car pile-up on the M20 in Kent and a 19-car crash on the A303 in Hampshire.
The fog is expected to lift gradually through Monday morning, though some patches may linger into the afternoon and isolated fog could still form outside warning areas.
