It has warned commuters to beware of frost, fog and freezing fog.

A spokesperson for the Met Office said the cold spell could make for some difficult driving conditions.

Advice issued in conjunction with the RAC and National Highways tells drivers not to use full beam headlights because fog merely reflects the light, worsening visibility.

Motorists should also stay four seconds away from vehicles in front and wind down windows at junctions to listen for oncoming traffic if visibility is severely reduced.

Freezing fog could even lead to flight delays because planes will need to be de-iced before take-off, but the cold conditions are expected to ease by Wednesday.
