Yellow Weather Alert issued for two South East counties

It'll take effect at midnight tonight and stay in place until 10am tomorrow.

The RSA is also advising vulnerable road-users such as pedestrians, motorcyclists and cyclists to ensure they are clearly visible to other road-users by wearing high visibility clothing and using lights.

Other tips for road users include:

• Switch on dipped headlights and fog lamps if visibility is reduced
• As you enter fog, check your mirrors and slow down. Use your foot brake lightly so that your lights warn following drivers.
• Do not drive on the tail-lights of the vehicle in front (Target Fixing). This can give a false sense of security and you will be too close to be able to brake safely.
