Met Office issues severe weather warning for Leeds with travel delays expected
⚠️ Forecasters have issued advice for those travelling today
A warning for severe weather has been issued across Leeds, with residents told to expect travel delays.
The Met Office has issued the yellow weather warning for fog, running from 4am to 10am today (Saturday October 31).
Forecasters said: “Areas of fog, dense in places with visibility below 100 metres at times, will slowly begin to thin, lift and clear later this morning or, in some spots, not until this afternoon.”
The dense fog is expected to cause slower journey times with delays to trains and buses, as well as the chance of delays to flights.
Currently, flights at Leeds Bradford Airport are running as scheduled.
The Met Office has issued advice for those travelling in Leeds this morning: “Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, leaving extra journey time, or amending plans if necessary.
“Make sure you know how to switch on your fog lights, and check they are working before setting off on your journey. Bus and train services, as well as flights and ferry travel may also be affected; check for updates from your travel company and follow their advice.
“Be prepared for weather warnings to change: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.”
