Fog and mist expected to affect UK commuters later this week
Meteorologists say lighter winds will allow fog to develop across parts of the UK on Thursday, creating challenging conditions for morning drivers.
A period of fog is forecast for several regions of the United Kingdom later this week, with the most significant impact expected during Thursday's morning commute.
Wednesday will bring a mix of sunshine and showers, while winds begin to ease into Thursday, allowing dense mist and fog to form, especially in east Wales and central and southern England. The reduced visibility could make driving hazardous for commuters and may persist into the late morning.
High pressure is set to replace the recent low-pressure system that brought stormy weather, leading to calmer conditions overall. Temperatures on Wednesday are projected to be slightly above seasonal averages, ranging from 12 °C to 16 °C, with dry spells in the afternoon.
Rain is still possible toward the end of the week, particularly in Scotland, Northern Ireland, and northern parts of England and Wales, while mist and fog may reappear in eastern and southern England on Friday and Saturday.
