Fog risk shifts north across UK as settled weather continues

Fog is forecast to affect parts of the UK again this week, with morning visibility problems expected to shift north after warnings covered England and Wales over the weekend.

The BBC Weather forecast says the areas most prone to fog during the morning commute are the Scottish glens, Central Belt, Cheshire Plains, Vale of York and parts of Northern Ireland. Fog is expected to be less widespread across England and Wales on Monday.

High pressure is forecast to keep much of the UK dry and settled through early November. Clearer nights could bring patchy rural frost and, in places, freezing fog. Daytime temperatures are expected to be close to the early-November average, at about 11–14C across the country.

The BBC says further weather warnings could be issued in the coming days as mist, fog and low cloud may take longer to clear in the weaker late-autumn sunshine. It also forecasts little prospect of significant rainfall this week.
