Fog Causes Flight Delays At London Airport

Flights were disrupted from a London airport after heavy fog blanketed much of southern England.

East Anglia, London, the East Midlands and in particular Kent were affected, with visibility dropping below 100m in some areas.

There were flight delays of up to five hours at London City Airport, though Heathrow and Gatwick continued to operate normally.

The low visibility caused flight delays in other European cities, with airports in Lisbon, Amsterdam and Zurich affected, according to air safety navigation company    Eurocontrol.

Back in the UK, the Met Office issued a severe weather warning.

"Widespread fog is affecting much of East Anglia, southeast England and the East Midlands this morning with visibility reduced to 100m or less in places," the Met Office said.

"The public should be aware that this will lead to difficult travelling conditions during this morning's busy period.

"The fog should gradually lift and disperse during the morning."

The Woolwich Ferry in London suspended operations, while Kent Police warned people to take care.

Sky News weather presenter Isobel Lang said the fog was fairly widespread.

"It was pretty poor too up across northern England and into southern Scotland," she said.

"It was not the worst of the foggy mornings we've had and probably not the worst we will have as we come into autumn proper. But it was bad enough to cause disruption."
