The Met Office has issued an 11 hour yellow weather warning for fog which may cause travel disruption.

The fog could lead to slower journey times, and bring about the chance of delays to bus and train services, and potential delays or cancellations to flights.

The warning comes into force from midnight on Wednesday until 11am the same day.

"Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, leaving extra journey time, or amending plans if necessary. Make sure you know how to switch on your fog lights, and check they are working before setting off on your journey.

"Bus and train services, as well as flights and ferry travel may also be affected; check for updates from your travel company and follow their advice. Be prepared for weather warnings to change: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area."
