Heavy fog has blanketed much of southern England, causing delays to flights and visibility to drop below 100m in some areas.

East Anglia, London and the East Midlands have been affected, but Kent appears to be worst hit.

London City Airport is experiencing flight delays of up to five hours, while Heathrow and Gatwick airports said they were operating normally.

The low visibility also 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 has issued a severe weather warning.

Yellow 'be aware' warning for fog in the UK

"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's pretty poor too as we head up across northern England and into southern Scotland," she said.

"It's 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's bad enough to cause disruption."
