		</div><p>Freezing fog has forced Heathrow Airport to cancel up to 100 flights.</p>
<p>The reduced visibility gave the airport no choice but to cancel approximately 100 out of about 1,300 flights, according to a spokesman.</p>
<p>Heathrow&#8217;s normal pattern of a plane landing or taking off every 45 seconds is impossible under the foggy conditions.</p>
<p>It is another day of disruption for travellers after around 100 flights were cancelled at Heathrow on Monday, while there were also problems at Gatwick, London City, Stansted and Southampton airports.<br />
A Heathrow spokesman said: &#8220;Persistent freezing fog across the south east has reduced visibility at Heathrow again today.</p>
<p>&#8220;With Heathrow operating at more than 99% capacity, there are no gaps in the schedule that can be used for delayed flights and as a result, some passengers may experience disruption to their journeys today.</p>
<p>&#8220;Passengers should check their flight status with their airline before coming to the airport. As always, Heathrow&#8217;s top priority is the safety of passengers and we apologise to those whose travel has been affected by today&#8217;s weather.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Met Office said a &#8220;severe&#8221; warning was covering all of England, except for the North East, and south-east Wales and will remain in place until 11am on Tuesday.</p>
<p>A Gatwick spokeswoman said: &#8220;Air traffic control restrictions imposed due to fog across the South East and Europe may cause some delays to flights.&#8221;</p>
<p>Edinburgh Airport advised passengers to contact their airlines after flights towards the south of the UK were affected on Monday.</p>
<p>Bristol Airport said flights were operating as normal while Stansted said it had no cancellations yet, but urged passengers to contact their airlines for the latest information.</p>
<p>Road users were also being warned of difficult driving conditions after Dorset Police reported 31 collisions on Monday morning &#8211; six times more than would occur at that time on an average weekday.</p>
<p>The force is urging motorists to take extra care on Tuesday, while the Met Office warned journeys were likely to take longer than usual because of the adverse conditions.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, ferries running to and from the Isle of Wight between Lymington and Yarmouth have been suspended until mid-morning on Tuesday due to dense fog, Wightlink Ferries said.</p>
<p>It is advising customers booked on that route to re-book via Portsmouth and Fishbourne, and is providing coaches for foot passengers hoping to travel on the alternative service.</p>
