DRIVERS across Cheshire are being warned of difficult driving conditions after the Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for fog.
The warning was issued at 9.58am on Sunday, November 8, and will remains in force until 11am on Monday, November 9, and affects the whole of the county.
Forecasters say fog patches will develop throughout Sunday evening before becoming widespread overnight, with some dense areas reducing visibility to as little as 50 metres in places by Monday morning.
The Met Office has warned that the conditions could lead to slower journey times and disruption to public transport, including possible delays to bus and rail services.
There is also a chance of delays or cancellations affecting flights.
A Met Office spokesperson said: "Fog patches will form readily again during Sunday evening and overnight becoming extensive by Monday morning.
"Some dense patches of fog are expected with visibility down to around 50 metres or less in some places.
"Fog thinning slowly later on Monday morning."
Drivers are being urged to allow extra time for their journeys, check road conditions before travelling, and ensure fog lights are working properly before setting off.
The Met Office also advises passengers travelling by train, bus, or air to check for updates from operators and follow any travel advice issued.
The yellow warning has been issued because there is a high likelihood of disruption, estimated at between 50 and 75 per cent, with a moderate level of impact expected.
Residents are being encouraged to keep up to date with the latest forecasts as weather warnings can change as conditions develop.
