The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for freezing fog affecting Wiltshire.

The warning was put in place this morning and lasts until 11am on Sunday (January 22).

Freezing fog will lead to difficult driving conditions and could cause travel delays in some areas on Saturday night, said the Met Office.

It means there is a chance untreated surfaces may become slippery, leading to increased chance of accidents or injuries.

The Wiltshire Gazette and Herald:

But Met Office meteorologist Craig Snell said the worst of the cold spell is over, with temperatures expected to climb next week across the whole of the UK.

Mr Snell said: “Next week, looking at the severe front, it’s looking pretty benign.

“We’re starting to lose the risk of fog and temperatures are generally around where they should be.

“We’ll probably lose the really hard frosts. In terms of ice and snow, it certainly looks like we’re over the worst.

“We’ve got to keep an eye on risk of fog generally this cold spell, although the main hazards from it look like they are beginning to diminish.”
