The Met Office has issued a fog warning for today which will hit parts of northern England, midlands and the south east.

Motorists travelling from Cumbria around the country are advised that conditions will worsen at about 3pm today and clear about 11am tomorrow.

The yellow warning for fog doesn't cover Cumbria itself but is due to affect Lancashire, Yorkshire and the north east.

A Met Office spokesperson said: "Fog or freezing fog patches, dense in places, becoming widespread and then slow to clear for some on Christmas Day.

"Fog or freezing fog patches will quickly become more widespread later on Christmas Eve, and will also be dense in places.

"Not everywhere will see fog, but where it does form, the visibility may fall to around 50 metres at times.

"Fog will tend to thin and lift in western and some central areas of England overnight, but will be slow to clear on Christmas Day in the east, perhaps persisting for much or all of the day in parts of eastern England."
