The Met Office has issued a weather warning for fog that could lead to travel disruption on Thursday morning.
The yellow advisory notice came into effect at 4am and runs until 11am for sections of England and south Wales.
Areas of central and southern England, such as Oxford, Worcester and Bath, all woke up to fog warnings on Thursday.
Fog can cause difficult driving conditions and slower journey times with delays to bus and train services are possible, the Met Office said.

There was chance of delays – and even cancellations – to flights on Thursday morning, it warned.
“Not everywhere will experience fog, but where fog patches do develop, they are likely to become dense in some places with visibility less than 100 metres, and perhaps less than 50 metres in a few spots,” the Met Office said.
“The fog will slowly thin towards late morning but may persist into the afternoon in some areas.”
The day’s forecast also includes outbreaks of rain and drizzle moving eastwards across Northern Ireland, Scotland and the far north of England.
It will be mostly dry elsewhere with some sunny spells, but some patches of fog and low cloud may persist, making it feel cold.
The fog weather warning covers much of central England, spanning from Cambridge to Worcester and Gloucester on the other side of the country.

It also covers part of London.
The weather warning also dips into Wales to cover Cardiff, as well as South West England including parts of Devon.
The Met Office has issued the fog warning until 11am on Thursday.
It was updated in the early hours to cover more of southeast England and East Anglia.
On Friday, the Met Office says fog patches are expected to lift in the south, leading to sunny spells and a few showers.
Its forecast for the weekend includes showers – most frequent near eastern coasts – and cloudy weather. It says it will likely feel cold due to a “brisk easterly breeze”.
A fog warning was also issued on Tuesday morning this week across much of the east of England, parts of Wales and the whole of Northern Ireland.
These areas faced the same warning of delays to journeys and the possibility of flight cancellations.
