Dense fog brings morning travel disruption warnings to the UK

The Met Office issued yellow weather warnings for dense fog across Northern Ireland, eastern Wales, and much of England on Monday morning. The BBC reported that the fog threatens to disrupt morning rush-hour commutes. A warning for Northern Ireland remains in place until 10:00, while a separate warning covering England and Wales lasts until 11:00. [1]

According to the BBC, the larger warning stretches from Canterbury to Cardiff, from Southampton to York, and from Hull to St Asaph. The affected region includes London, Birmingham, and parts of Greater Manchester. Drivers face difficult conditions as visibility could fall below 50 metres in some areas. Delays or cancellations could also impact bus, train, ferry, and flight services. [1]

As FTMQ News reported earlier, lighter winds and building high pressure were expected to bring persistent mist and fog to parts of the United Kingdom into November. The word dense is used in everyday language to describe heavy fog or thick vegetation, while ISO standards established Monday as the official start of the standard workweek. [2][3][4]

The BBC reported that the fog is expected to lift gradually throughout Monday morning. [1]
