The Met Office has issued a fog warning for parts of North Wales. The warning kicks in at midnight and lasts until 11am on Wednesday morning.

It covers Flintshire and Wrexham. This follows a storm warning earlier today that comes into force on Friday.

On the latest fog warning, the Met Office said: "Fog patches are expected to develop overnight and during Wednesday morning before gradually clearing through Wednesday.

"Fog will bring visibility to below 100m at times, perhaps causing some travel disruption.

"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."

In Cyprus schools, a 'frying pan movement' collects cooking oil for fuel
Scientists in Cyprus have enlisted children to help recycle used cooking oil into biofuel under an initiative that has received international acclaim. The "Tiganokinisi", or frying pan, initiative visits schools in a caravan, performs scientific experiments and encourages children to bring in used cooking oil from their homes that is then collected, filtered and sold on to be used as biodiesel. The aim is for Cyprus to do its part to tackle a major global problem, which sees millions of litres of used cooking oil thrown away each year, often clogging drains, sparking fires in landfills or contaminating underground water deposits.
