[Flaked Queen]

Guess we can't grumble YET it's not even winter

[Crepuscular Ray]

Still clear as a bell here in Kensal Green. I don't expect it to be that way by the morning.

[Jax]

Going bed (or trying to anyway) night all

[Ǝssex Ǝasterly]

Temperature here is dropping like a stone! 0.4c now

 

Be surprised if we don't see an air frost here tonight!

 

Will be dicey tomorrow morning, with all this fog around ice is going to stick to everything! Can already see clumps of it forming on the colder surfaces outside!

[fluid dynamic]

With all the fog you may not come back, clear here at the moment at 4.1c

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Some of the worst fog I've ever seen it makes it so quiet to

[80sWeather]

Good morning all.

Foggy, damp and cold.

Feels spooky!

[Reefseeker]

Very foggy morning and only just above freezing; glad husband drove to Bournemouth last night and not this morning, although he says it was foggy from SW London to Winchester down the M3, but not this thick and widespread. 

[Captain Shortwave]

Morning

Weather - foggy

Models - terrible

Long day ahead 

[Coast]

Morning regionaires.

 

Quite thick fog through Sussex on the way home last night, a little reminiscent of those pictures of the smog in 1950's London.

 

A nice frost to start this morning (not that pesky frozen dew of yesterday) and the fog has thinned a little to the South, but still quite thick to the North of the County. Temps ranging widely again from -1°C in Eastbourne dropping to -2°C in rural places but a few hundred meters on and it's +5°C depending on topography.

 

If you have to travel by car this morning give yourself a few extra minutes to defrost the windscreen and take a slightly slower journey through any of this pea soup!

UK weather: Heavy fog delays flights and ferry services across South East England

 

Visibility has dropped to less than 50 metres in some places, with cancellations at Heathrow Airport and delays to Isle of Wight ferry services

 

Heavy fog has descended over much of south east England this morning, leading to flight delays and cancellations. The Met Office has warned of travel disruption this morning, with visibility expected to drop to lower than 50 metres in places. British Airways said there had already been cancellations and delays at Heathrow Airport, and urged customers to check its website for updates throughout the morning.

 

A spokeswoman for Heathrow Airport confirmed that 40 incoming and outgoing flights had been cancelled this morning, and others had been delayed. Wightlink Ferries, which operates routes between Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, has also reported delays. Lara Gunn, a forecaster at MeteoGroup, said: "A dense fog is hanging over the South East and up towards the Midlands and is expected to linger throughout the morning. "Visibility will be quite poor in some areas and so travellers should take caution."
