The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for fog in Yorkshire from 7pm on Monday night (January 17) lasting until 12pm on Tuesday.

It warned that the foggy conditions would likely cause slower travel and possible disruption in places across the region.

Motorists should expect slower journey times and possible hazardous driving conditions while the warning is in place, with delays to bus and train services also possible.
