Met Office issues weather warning as 'freezing fog' expected to hit Nottingham and Nottinghamshire

Travel disruption is expected across the county tomorrow as 'freezing fog' hits.

A yellow weather warning has been issued by the Met Office for tomorrow morning (November 19) for Nottingham and the south and west sides of the county.

The warning is in place between 4am and 11am and public transport could be affected.

According to the weather monitoring company, dense fog and freezing fog patches are 'likely'.

The Met Office is telling people that slower journey times with delays to bus and train services are possible and there is a chance of delays or cancellations to flights.

Advice for travelling in fog

On the Met Office's website, these six points of advice are issued: 

  • Avoid travel if possible 
  • Drive very slowly with dipped headlights, full-beam lights reflect off the fog causing a 'white wall' effect 
  • Keep an eye on your speed, fog can give the illusion of moving in slow motion 
  • Use fog lights, but remember to turn them off when the visibility improves
  • Don't hang on the tail lights of the car in front, rear lights can give a false sense of security 
  • Watch out for freezing fog which is made of water droplets that freeze on contact with objects such as the pavement, road, car, etc. It can quickly form a layer of ice

Weather forecast for this week

Tuesday November 19 - foggy, turning to misty. -1C until 9am, no higher than 5C all day. 

Wednesday November 20 - cloudy. High 6C, low of 2C. 

Thursday November 21 - cloudy. High 7C, low 5C.

Friday November 22 - cloudy. High 9C, low 6C.
