The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for fog covering parts of Greater Manchester overnight. Forecasters are warning dense fog could lead to ‘difficult travelling conditions’.
The warning covers most of Stockport and parts of south Manchester and Trafford. It also covers North, East and South Yorkshire, the East Midlands and Birmingham.
The warning runs until 7am tomorrow (Sunday). It reads: “Fog patches will develop fairly widely on Saturday night and early Sunday morning, becoming dense in places leading to difficult travelling conditions. Visibility should improve from west to east overnight, with fog clearing from most areas by dawn Sunday.”
The warning runs until 7am on Sunday
Drivers are urged to allow extra time for their journeys and to check road conditions before they set off. The fog could also affect flights, the Met Office warns.
Sunday is forecast to be unsettled, with showers and spells of heavier, persistent rain moving in to Greater Manchester from around 5am, according to Met Office weather maps. Cloudier skies will make it feel chilly, despite temperatures returning to average for this time of year.
Some brighter spells are expected between showers, with highs of 9C possible. However, gusts of up to 23mph in Manchester could make temperatures feel closer to 5C.
