## Summary

Dense fog led the Met Office to issue a yellow warning for parts of England on Friday, with visibility potentially dropping below 100 metres during the morning rush hour. The warning highlights the risk of difficult driving conditions, while a developing area of high pressure is expected to bring the UK a prolonged spell of mostly dry, quieter weather.

The fog was forecast to lift later on Friday, though some rural areas in eastern England could remain affected into the afternoon. Saturday may bring low cloud and patchy sunshine, with rain mainly in north-west Scotland; Sunday should be mostly dry, with a little drizzle possible in Wales and central England. The Environment Agency says 82% of England remains in drought and estimates that 20% more rain than average is needed over the next six months to end it.
