A warning has gone out about fog covering Bolton and elsewhere across the region this morning.

The yellow Met Office warning is in place from 5am to 10am on the morning of Monday September 16.

Road users have been warned to expect delays and possible cancellations or changes to public transport routes.

A Met Office statement said: “It is looking like one of the first occasions in autumn 2024 when we will see more widespread fog developing overnight and lasting well into the morning. Some of this could be quite dense, making journey times longer.”

It added: “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.”

The yellow warning means that there is a medium risk of fog with a likely low impact.

As yet there are no further warnings in place for the rest of the week but members of the public have been recommended to continue checking with the Met Office.
