Devon's drivers are being urged to take extra care this morning because of fog.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning, saying conditions could be dangerous.

Forecasters say thick fog could affect the hills and south coast.

People are being urged to allow extra time for their journeys.

There is the risk flights could be delayed too.

The alert will be in force between 5am and 11am on Wednesday 2nd March.

The Met Office says thick fog, mainly on modest hills and near the south coast, will make for difficult driving conditions this morning.

The forecast states: "Very moist air, associated with a frontal system slowly moving northwards, is arriving into south-western parts of the UK.

"As cloud above it thins, and rain eases, this will allow a period of thick low cloud and fog to continue to develop, settle onto hills, and expand northwards with visibilities below 50m in a few places.

"Fog should gradually lift into low cloud this morning, with visibility slowly improving".
