The Met Office has issued a weather warning for fog in the north of England after a weekend which saw the warmest conditions of the year.
The yellow warning, issued on Sunday night, is in force for more than 10 hours, between 10.40pm on Sunday and 9pm on Monday.
The alert covers large areas of the North East and Yorkshire, including Durham, Newcastle and York.
Some dense fog is likely in places with the visibility falling to 50 metres at times, the Met Office said.
The forecaster warned traffic and travel disruption is possible in some areas due to fog.
The warning said: “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.”

Temperatures are also set to drop across the country, the forecaster said.
Craig Snell, a meteorologist at the Met Office, said: “It’s been widely warm across the east and west, and it’s been pleasant in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
“It’s been fairly decent and Sunday was the warmest day of 2025 so far.
But on next week, Mr Snell said: “It’ll be turning colder across all parts.
“The South will hang on to milder conditions on Monday, probably around 17C or 18C, but it will be cloudier.
“In the North, it’ll be much cooler and bands of patchy rain will move in, and gradually move southwards.”
Most of the country will feel the cooler conditions on Tuesday and this will continue through most of the week.
Scattered showers are expected in northern and eastern parts, with temperatures in the North reaching between 6C and 8C, and the South seeing between 8C and 9C.
Mr Snell said: “Conditions will stay in single figures and it’ll be a cold midweek, particularly when compared with this weekend.
“It won’t be a washout and there will be plenty of dry spells. But it’ll be the breeze that keeps those temperatures down.”
Friday into Saturday will be more of the same until temperatures start to rise again slightly moving into the weekend.
