The Met Office gave no fog warning for Southport/Ainsdale this morning. However, this was the scene in Southport after the experts had predicted a ‘bright start’. Sunrise occurred at 8.13 am and the images herein were all taken well after the day had started.
Above: Ghostly conditions in Woodvale woodlands at 9.30 am.
Above: The view over the railway bridge at Kenilworth Road this morning.
Above: The bottom end of Ainsdale’s Meadow Lane was affected by lingering fog.
Some areas of the town had denser fog and the pale sun did not peep out until well after 10.00 am. The only weather warnings given for this morning related to Scotland and Ireland and these were just for ice.
Although somewhat misty the Formby Bypass was not too bad thanks to the flow of fast-moving traffic, yet care was taken by most sensible drivers.

last night the Met gave minimum temperatures for our area as ‘minus 6.’ In fact, the unpredicted misty condition ensured that it stayed above freezing.
Spooky conditions, which were ‘officially unpredicted’ in the Woodvale area, as mists slowly lifted.
