Many across southern England woke up to foggy conditions on Wednesday, with the Met Office warning that 'freezing' fog and drizzle could cause travel delays. In the South West, flooding is expected with warnings from the Environment Agency to 'act now' in place for residents.
Sub-zero start for the south in 'unusual' week
A Met Office yellow weather warning ran until 8am on Wednesday, for an area stretching from Exeter to Oxford, with the region reaching lows of -5C. Lows of -6C were recorded overnight at Bournemouth Airport. Commuters were asked to prepare for longer journey times due to possible bus and train delays as freezing fog led to reduced visibility and untreated surfaces turning icy, causing difficult driving conditions.
Fog was also forecast to linger in Bath and North East Somerset, Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole, Devon, Dorset, Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Swindon and Wiltshire.Rain will reach southern England later this afternoon and last into the early evening, the Met Office added. The outlook for the weekend sees a cold start on Friday, spreading south on Saturday and Sunday, with showers following.
A change in wind direction caused the mild temperatures in Scotland. Met Office spokesman Oli Claydon said the weather was"relatively unusual".
