A series of weather warnings have been issued over freezing fog that could lead to air pollution and difficult driving conditions as the cold snap bites. The Met Office said the haze will be so thick that visibility could drop as low as 50m in some parts of England.
The yellow weather warning is in place between midnight and 11am on Sunday, with Yorkshire down to East Anglia expected to see the densest fog. A “moderate” air pollution alert has also been issued for London by mayor Sadiq Khan, where the foggy conditions are causing poor dispersion of vehicle emissions.
He said: “On Sunday, alongside the extreme cold temperatures we’ve been experiencing, we are also expecting moderate to high levels of air pollution. We all need to be careful over the next few days.
