Yellow weather warning for foggy conditions across parts of the North West
The met office alert covers central and eastern Lancashire, as well as parts of Greater Manchester, Cheshire and Merseyside
Driver are being warned of delays and bad visibility on parts of the region's roads this morning because of fog.
A yellow Met Office warning is in place until 10am. It covers parts of Lancashire, Cheshire, Greater Manchester and Merseyside, and we are being advised to expect delays and add extra time to our journeys.
However, forecasters say it will brighten up as we get through the day, to leave crisp autumn sunshine.
Dean Hall, senior meteorologist at the Met Office, said: "Given that people will be commuting to work (on Monday) there may be some very localised impacts from dense fog through the warning area, but very quickly that will lift and disappear as the sun gets to work on it.
"Through much of next week, high pressure stays well and truly in charge of our weather."
The best of the weather in the coming days will be across the western parts of the UK because an easterly breeze is expected.
But sunny parts of the south and south east of England, that are further inland and out of the wind, will also feel "quite warm".
The predicted low-20Cs in those areas are well above the average 18 or 19C for this time of year, Mr Hall said.
He added: "The signals are that high pressure may stay in charge of our weather for some time yet, so we will wait to see how things pan out as we get towards the end of the week.
"Summer as a whole has been a bit on the coolish side for some, temperatures have not been great over the past few days, so this will be a welcome relief.
"If you like the warmth and the sunshine then it will certainly feel a bit warmer compared to what we've had recently - it will make a change from the rather changeable (weather), certainly it's been wetter at times in places, so certainly a bit of respite from the unsettled conditions going forwards."
