The yellow warning for fog is in place from 12am until 10am on Sunday (November 8). The forecaster warns: "Fog, dense in places, may lead to some travel disruption on Saturday night and Sunday morning," adding that Brits should expect slower journey times with possible delays to bus and train services, as well as a chance of delays or cancellations to flights . The Met Office added: "Patchy, dense fog is expected to develop during Saturday night with the visibility falling to less than 50 metres in places.

Fog is expected to become increasingly widespread within this area during the second half of the night before only slowly clearing during Sunday morning; slowest across parts of the West Country and central southern England."

What we found (1)

The Daily Express reports a Met Office yellow fog warning covering 33 areas from midnight to 10am on Sunday, quoting the forecaster's own words on visibility and travel disruption and listing every area covered. The only problem is the headline, which calls a yellow fog warning "urgent" and says the areas have already been "hit", when the body describes a forecast of fog for the following night. Nothing in the body misleads.

  1. Headline goes beyond the article

    Minor

    “urgent weather warnings with 33 areas hit”

    Why this matters
    The headline calls the warnings "urgent" and says 33 areas are "hit".
    The impression it gives
    A reader expects a high-level alert for severe weather that is already affecting 33 areas.
    The context
    The body describes a yellow warning for fog that runs from midnight to 10am on Sunday, so the 33 areas are covered by a forecast, not yet hit. The Met Office's quoted words speak of fog that "may lead to some travel disruption", and nobody quoted in the body calls the warning urgent.

    How we know

    • Elsewhere in the article“The yellow warning for fog is in place from 12am until 10am on Sunday”
    • Elsewhere in the article“may lead to some travel disruption on Saturday night and Sunday morning”
    • Elsewhere in the article“33 areas are affected by the yellow weather warning”

    Show it in the article

What it gets right

  • “"Fog, dense in places, may lead to some travel disruption on Saturday night and Sunday morning,"”

    The article quotes the Met Office's own wording on the likely disruption, so readers get the forecaster's measured assessment and not a paraphrase.

  • “The yellow warning for fog is in place from 12am until 10am on Sunday (November 8).”

    It gives the warning level, the hazard and the exact time window plainly.

  • “parts of East Anglia were removed from the warning, which has also been extended a little further west and northwest”

    It tells readers how the earlier warning was revised, so they can check whether their own area is still covered.
