Earlier today, the South East area was issued a warning from the Met Office. Thus cautioning residents to be aware of freezing fog with visibility reduced to as little as 50 to 100 meters in some areas.
The warning was in effect until 11 am this morning, when it officially expired. Freezing fog occurs during cold temperatures when water vapor condenses. Thus forming tiny ice crystals that float in the air. This type of fog is especially dangerous because it can limit visibility and make road conditions hazardous.
