Central and eastern parts of the UK, including Kent, are experiencing fog this morning. Drivers and pedestrians are advised to take extra care when travelling.
Visibility has been significantly reduced across Kent and neighbouring counties in the east this morning due to fog. The conditions are affecting road travel, public transport, and pedestrian movements throughout the region. Fog can develop quickly and dissipate slowly, particularly in low-lying areas and near water. Motorists are experiencing hazardous conditions on major routes including the M25, M20, and A roads throughout Kent.
Anyone venturing out this morning should reduce speed and increase following distances between vehicles. Use dipped headlights to improve visibility to other road users. Allow extra time for your journey as travel times are likely to be significantly longer than usual. Check journey conditions before setting off and consider whether your journey is essential.
For those using public transport, services may experience delays or cancellations due to the reduced visibility. Pedestrians should wear reflective clothing or carry torches to make themselves visible to approaching traffic.
