Met Office issues yellow fog warning for West Midlands, warns of travel disruptions

The Met Office has issued a yellow fog warning for the West Midlands, covering Birmingham, the Black Country, Staffordshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire. The agency forecasts a 50-75 percent chance of dense fog between midnight on Saturday and 10 a.m. on Sunday, which could affect road, rail and air travel.

"Fog, dense in places, may lead to some travel disruption on Saturday night and Sunday morning. 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."

The warning also notes that visibility could drop below 50 metres in some areas, with the fog expected to spread across parts of England, including Bristol, Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Stoke, while largely sparing London. Travelers are advised to monitor updates from transport providers and adjust plans accordingly.
