The Met Office issued a warning yesterday afternoon that fog was expected to return to Norfolk and Suffolk from 9pm last night until midday today.

Their forecaster said: 'Areas of fog are expected to form during Sunday night becoming widespread and dense in places by Monday morning. Travel may be impacted by poor visibility, with some minor disruption expected.

'A slack, moist airmass lying across much of England will allow fog to readily form again on Sunday night, reducing visibility to less than 100m at times. Fog will slowly lift and clear from many places through Monday.'
