The Met Office is telling the county to prepare for widespread disruption on Friday as dense fog looks set to lead to delays on the morning commute.<\/p>\n

The national forecaster has issued a yellow warning for fog covering a large area in the south of England, the Midlands, and the south of Wales – including the cities of Bristol, Oxford and Birmingham.<\/p>\n

The warning reads: "Fog patches will form during the evening and then become more widespread overnight – perhaps leading to some travel disruption."<\/p>\n

They advise that this could mean "slower journey times with delays to bus and train services possible", with an additional chance of delays or cancellations to flights.<\/p>\n

Weatherman Tomasz Schafernaker from the BBC meanwhile advised motorists to "take it steady" on treacherous foggy roads, and expected some mist also in the northwest of England.<\/p>\n

Temperatures are expected to remain close to average for January for the rest of the UK on Friday, but it will remain cold in foggy areas. <\/p>\n

Northern Ireland and Scotland will see some cloud, while light rain will come to areas in the far north.<\/p>\n

Saturday will generally begin partly cloudy, with some sunny spells emerging by the afternoon and some light showers in the west.<\/p>\n

Anyone preparing for rain there might want to be extra careful after new research found that umbrellas are one of the nation\u2019s most lost items.<\/p>\n

A 'find the brolly' brain teaser was commissioned by Premier Inn to promote the new umbrella rental trial in 30 of its hotels \u2014 launched in partnership with DripDrop \u2014 with a minimum of 15% of the proceeds going to the hotel chain's partner, Great Ormond Street Hospital Children\u2019s Charity.<\/p>\n

The hotel chain found that 10% of Brits will lose or break a staggering ten or more umbrellas in their lifetime.<\/p>\n
