The weather appears to be becoming more settled as heavy showers are moved aside for thick fog, morning frost and cloud as high pressure moves in but brisk breezes will keep things feeling chilly

Dense fog is cloaking parts of Britain this morning with the Met Office issuing a weather warning urging motorists to take extra caution.

Overnight into Friday temperatures plummeted below zero as November’s big freeze continues amid fears winter is coming early – while scattered showers will continue over the weekend.

Southern England, including London, is likely to remain thick with fog until mid-morning, as are large swathes of the north-east from Nottingham up to Newcastle.

The Environment Agency continues to issue warnings about flooding, with three in place for today, alongside 13 alerts – following days of rain earlier in the week.
