The Guardian said thick fog will shroud much of southern England, eastern Wales and most of Northern Ireland early this week, prompting expected transport delays.
Drivers were warned to take care as ‘perfect’ weather conditions for mist affect the areas, and commuters were told to expect disruptions.
Forecasters said the mist is likely to persist through the early part of the week, reducing visibility on roads and at airports.
The publication noted that flights at Heathrow faced disruption on Monday, and an incident involving 30 vehicles forced the closure of a major road in Kent on Saturday evening.
Why it matters
The fog is expected to cause travel delays and safety risks for commuters and air passengers across the affected regions.
