Thick fog is expected to develop across parts of the UK this week, creating hazardous driving conditions, particularly during the Thursday morning rush hour. According to BBC Weather, the fog will form as winds lighten into Thursday, with dense mist likely to affect east Wales, central and southern England. The fog may persist until lunchtime in some areas, causing significant disruption to commuters. Wednesday will see a mix of cloud and showery rain across southern Scotland, northern England and north Wales, with the rain moving south-east into the Midlands before clearing. The afternoon will be largely dry with sunny spells, temperatures slightly above average at 12-16°C. High pressure is expected to become established from Sunday into next week, bringing more settled weather with lighter winds. This pattern increases the risk of mist, fog, low cloud, chillier days, and frosty nights, particularly in late autumn. While rain is forecast for the end of the week, the more settled weather will likely continue into the first week of November. The BBC notes that despite October providing average rainfall for drought-affected areas in England and Wales, some reservoirs remain exceptionally low. This more settled weather pattern, with limited rainfall, may exacerbate existing drought conditions. The fog formation is linked to the weakening of a previously active jet stream, which had been bringing stormy weather to the UK. As high pressure builds, the weather becomes calmer, but with increased fog risks. The BBC Weather team advises motorists to exercise caution during the Thursday morning commute and to allow extra travel time due to reduced visibility. The forecast also indicates that mist and fog may form again during overnight periods and linger through mornings in eastern and southern England over the coming days. This pattern is typical for late autumn when high pressure systems dominate, leading to clearer skies at night but dense fog in the mornings. The BBC Weather team has provided additional resources for understanding fog formation and its impact on daily life, including a feature on how fog forms and its effects on transportation.
