DRIVERS are being warned to take care on the roads after the Met Office issued a weather warning for fog. 

The warning, graded yellow, is for ‘patchy’ fog and icy patches which could cause difficult travel conditions on Thursday, November 28.

In place from 12.15am until 10am, the warning affects area the whole of Cheshire, includes Warrington, Northwich, Winsford, and Knutsford.

The fog is set to cause difficult driving conditions, delays to bus and train services, and cancellation of flights.

This latest weather warning comes off the back of Storm Bert, which wreaked havoc across the UK, including putting parts of Cheshire on flood alert over the weekend. 

A Met Office spokesperson added: "Patches of fog will continue to form with the visibility in some places falling below 100 metres.

"With temperatures also below freezing, icy patches will be an additional hazard on untreated surfaces.

"Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, leaving extra journey time, or amending plans if necessary.

"Make sure you know how to switch on your fog lights, and check they are working before setting off on your journey.

"Bus and train services, as well as flights and ferry travel, may also be affected; check for updates from your travel company, and follow their advice.

"Fog will thin and clear from most places later in the morning.

"Be prepared for weather warnings to change: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area."
