A yellow Met Office warning for fog covers Warwick, Leamington, Kenilworth and the rest of Warwickshire from 6pm on Monday 9 November until 10am on Tuesday 10 November. The Met Office warning was issued at 8.45am on Monday and takes in the journey home on Monday evening as well as Tuesday’s school run and commute.

What to expect in Warwick

The Met Office says fog will form again in the evening and become dense at times overnight, with visibility below 100 metres. It should thin and clear during Tuesday morning. It says this may mean:

  • slower journeys on the roads
  • possible delays to buses and trains
  • a chance of delayed or cancelled flights, worth checking if you’re heading to Birmingham Airport

Its advice is to check road conditions before you drive, leave extra time, and make sure you know how to switch on your fog lights and that they work. It’s the second warning in a row for the county, after one that ran until 11am on Monday.

Roads already affected

Some local routes are already disrupted, so a diversion may add to the fog. Roadworks permits show Wathen Road in Warwick closed until 18 December and Watery Lane in Sherbourne closed until 23 November, as our roadworks round-up explains. Works are also listed on Myton Road, Mill Street, Gallows Hill, Emscote Road, High Street and Jury Street in Warwick.

Before you travel

Warnings can change, and we’ll update this story if the Met Office changes this one for Warwickshire.
