Warnings of early-morning flooding and travel disruption have been issued for southern England due to difficult weather conditions. The Environment Agency had issued 23 flood warnings, meaning flooding is expected this morning (January 25) for an area stretching from Ludgershall in Wiltshire down to Dorset and across to Somerset.
Flights could be cancelled and journeys delayed because of “freezing” fog in the region, the Met Office said as it issued a yellow warning for fog for an area stretching from Exeter to Oxford, with lows in that region of -5C recorded at Benson in Oxfordshire, Farnborough in Hampshire and Wiltshire’s MoD Boscombe Down. The overnight low by 3.30am was to be found nearby to the military site, with minus at Bournemouth Airport where it was -6C.
“Freezing fog will lead to difficult driving conditions and could cause travel delays in some areas,” the Met Office said. Dense fog could see visibility drop to below 100 metres in places, the forecasters added.
