As of November 9, 2026, thick fog has shrouded much of London and the South East of England, causing severe travel disruptions. The Met Office issued a yellow weather warning predicting visibility below 50 metres, impacting flights at Heathrow and London City airports, as well as rail and road networks. By 6:30 am on Monday, seven flights from Heathrow and three from London City were cancelled due to the fog. Commuters face longer journey times and potential delays or cancellations across various transport modes, with disruptions extending into Tuesday morning as the fog is expected to develop further overnight and reduce visibility to less than 100 metres.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
