Dense fog causes travel disruptions across the United Kingdom

On November 9, 2026, a dense blanket of fog covered large parts of the United Kingdom, leading to significant travel chaos. A yellow weather warning issued by the Met Office remains in effect until 11:00, stretching from York to Bath and covering most of South East and East England. Visibility has been severely reduced, falling to as low as 50 meters in some areas, which has disrupted bus and train services and caused flight cancellations at Heathrow and London City airports.

Authorities warned of dangerous road conditions, following recent accidents linked to the weather. On Saturday, a multi-vehicle collision involving over 30 cars on the M20 motorway in Kent resulted in two serious injuries and the closure of the road. Additionally, another accident under foggy conditions yesterday resulted in one fatality and four injuries. While some observers have linked the intensity of the weather to broader climate change patterns, official forecasts remain focused on the immediate risks to transport. Travelers are advised to expect ongoing delays as the fog persists throughout the morning.
