‘Areas of freezing fog are expected to develop on Sunday night, these dense at times and slow to clear from some spots on Monday,’ the Met Office said.

‘Visibility as low as 50 to 100 metres could be encountered in a few areas and some untreated surfaces could turn icy, this combination meaning potentially difficult driving conditions.’

The forecaster added the fog could adversely affected train and bus journeys and there is a possibility for flight cancellations. The warning will be in place between 12.15am and 11am.
