The Independent reports a Met Office yellow fog warning for parts of England until 10am Friday, with possible travel disruption and further fog expected. The BBC item’s headline concerns the warning, but its supplied article text discusses drought and water use instead.

  • The Met Office warning covers parts of the East Midlands, East of England, London and South East England, and West Midlands until 10am Friday; visibility could fall below 100 metres.
  • The Met Office says fog could disrupt road, bus, rail, air and ferry travel, and advises checking conditions and allowing extra time.
  • The supplied BBC article text focuses on drought: it says the Environment Agency estimates 20% more rain than average is needed over six months for drought to end.
