What happened
The Met Office issued yellow fog warnings for parts of England and Wales, warning of hazardous driving conditions. Dense fog, with visibility sometimes below 100 meters, was expected in areas including the East Midlands and West Midlands. The warnings covered parts of East and West Midlands, East of England, and Yorkshire and Humber in England, and areas around Denbighshire in Wales.
