Airports in the South East are suffering another day of disruption with dense fog leading to cancellations.
Heathrow has cancelled 40 flights while London City Airport has cancelled 20.
Southampton Airport has also had to cancel and delay flights due to the weather while Jersey Airport is also reporting disruption.
Yesterday the bad visibility also led to delays at airports in the South East.
A Heathrow spokesman said officials were estimating the fog would lift at about 10am.
‘When we have fog it’s like driving: you need to mantain a larger separation distance between flights to keep it safe,’ she said.
‘Therefore because Heathrow is running at 99 per cent capacity we have unfortunately had to cancel some flights.’
London City said: ‘Due to low visibility this morning flights to/from the airport are experiencing disruptions. Passengers are advised to call their airlines for more information.’
The Met Office said there were dense fog patches across the south east of England which could take longer than normal to clear.
It has warned the public of travel disruption, with visibility expected to drop to lower than 50 metres in places.
