Fog alert issued in Scotland as Met Office warns of flight delays and road chaos

Parts of Scotland are to be hit with "dense" fog this morning, which could result in flight delays and cancellations.

The Met Office have issued a yellow weather warning on Tuesday, November 29, which will affect southwest Scotland until early this afternoon.

Thick fog is likely to cause some travel delays and could even impact flights across the UK. Anyone travelling by plane is urged to double check that their trip is going ahead.

Elsewhere, the rest of the country is to see a few sunny spells, with the strongest sunshine predicted for the north and northwest. However, low cloud and fog may bring on cold bouts.

Here's everything you need to know about this morning's weather warning, including when it is expected to end and areas affected.
