Forecasters have issued a fog warning for Bristol and parts of the West Country. The yellow Met Office warning is in place from 12.15am until 10am on Thursday (November 28).
It covers Bristol, North Somerset and Gloucestershire. Motorists have been warned of difficult driving conditions tomorrow morning due to poor visibility.
Temperatures are also set to drop across the region which could lead to icy roads. Forecasters expect the mercury to drop below freezing tonight.
The Met Office said: “Patches of fog will become more widespread overnight, resulting in difficult driving conditions in places into Thursday morning.” The forecaster added that people can expect slower journey times and potential flight cancellations.
The Met Office continued: “Patches of fog will continue to form overnight becoming more widespread later with the visibility in some places falling below 100 metres. With temperatures also below freezing, icy patches will be an additional hazard on untreated surfaces.”
