THICK fog is expected in Surrey and Hampshire this evening, the Met Office has warned.

Areas of fog, including some locally dense freezing fog patches, are expected to form on Monday evening and persist through the night into Tuesday.

Visibility is expected to drop below 100 metres and motorists are urged to be aware of tricky road travel conditions.

A spokesman for the Met Office said: "With little cloud and light winds fog is expected to readily develop during Monday evening, affecting the evening rush hour in some areas as well as the morning rush hour on Tuesday.

"Fog is then expected to be locally slow to lift and clear on Tuesday, lingering for much of the morning and perhaps onwards into the afternoon in some spots.”
