The UK looks set for another chilly deep freeze this month while dense fog continues to be a nuisance across the country, particularly on roads this morning.
A Met Office yellow warning regarding fog remains in place, and has been in place since 7pm yesterday. It is due to expire at 11am today (January 15).
The warning covers a large swathe of England, stretching from southern-central regions and London, over much of The Midlands including Birmingham, and right up to Yorkshire and the North East.
The Met Office said as part of the warning: "Fog patches leading to some travel disruption.
"Impaired visibility leading to hazardous driving conditions in places, and probable slower journey times especially by road; Delays to bus and train services are possible.
"There is a chance of delays or cancellations to flights."
The forecaster has also published safety information for travelling in dense fog for people in the impacted areas.
Elsewhere, temperatures look set to dip below freezing towards the end of next week.
Advanced weather modelling maps from WX Charts predict lows of -1C to -2C in both Scotland and Northern Ireland next Thursday and Friday during a brief cold snap.
Northern parts of England, as well as Wales, should remain one or two notches warmer over those days.
Whereas, southern regions may be the only parts of the UK not to see the mercury plunge below 0C.
For today, the Met Office said that those not afflicted by fog will see: "Most parts dry with large amounts of cloud and some sunny intervals. A few showers affecting western parts later."
Afternoon temperatures will be warmest in the South West today, with highs of 10C forecast there.
Other southern regions, as well as Wales and Northern Ireland, should hover at around 7C to 8C, with The Midlands, Scotland and northern England far colder at around 4C to 5C.
