A weather warning has been issued for fog across Derry and the rest of the North of Ireland which will result in “difficult driving conditions”, the Met Office has confirmed.
The yellow warning will remain in place from now until 8am on Thursday.
Fog has already caused havoc with travel in the North of Ireland today.
The Met Office has said Wednesday’s fog is expected to expand and become fairly widespread, with visibilities in some places falling below 100m.
“This will make for difficult driving conditions and may also lead to disruption of public transport,” the Met Office explained.
“With temperatures close to, and in places below freezing, icy patches in freezing fog will be an additional hazard.”
Motorists have been advised to give themselves the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, leaving extra journey time, or amending plans if necessary.
The Met Office added: “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.
“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.”
