THE Met Office is urging people in Surrey and Hampshire to ‘be aware’ of the risk of freezing fog tonight and into tomorrow morning.

Freezing fog patches are forecast to become more widespread and locally dense from around 5pm on Wednesday, through to noon Thursday.

Driving conditions will be difficult with journeys likely to take longer than usual whilst some delays to air travel are possible.

While not all areas will have fog, where it does form the visibility could be less than 100 metres.

Combined with temperatures below freezing, there is also the risk of ice forming on some untreated surfaces particularly later tonight and early on Thursday morning.
