The forecast for Thursday starts with freezing temperatures but it will become milder later in the day. A forecaster for the Met Office said: "It will be a dry and bright day with sunny spells. A frosty start with any freezing fog lifting and clearing. Freshening southeasterly winds. Maximum temperature 8 °C."
The weekend could also be milder as the Met Office outlook for Friday to Sunday states: "Mild or very mild and windy, coastal gales at times. Outbreaks of rain or showers with the best of the brightness in the east."
The Met Office has also issued a guide with the help of the RAC to help drivers prepare for driving in freezing fog.
Tip 1: Make sure you're familiar with your front and rear fog lights
Tip 2: Do not use full beam lights, as the fog reflects the light back reducing visibility further.
Tip 3: Follow the 'two second rule', or even increase the gap to four seconds to leave sufficent space between you and the vehicle in front.
Tip 4: Ensure the heater is set to window de-misting and open all the vents.
Tip 5: If visibility is very limited, wind down your windows at junctions and crossroads to allow you to listen
