A spokesperson for the Met Office said: ‘Patches of fog are likely to form readily in rural areas during Wednesday evening, becoming more widespread and locally dense overnight and at first on Thursday morning.

‘Please be aware that low visibility could lead to extended journey times and difficult driving in places.’

Cross-country routes to Leeds and Jersey have been among those cancelled.

The airport urged customers on Twitter to check flight times with airlines before setting off.
