Government monitoring found 11 sites, mostly in London and Greater Manchester, hit the top band of its 10-point particle index. Imperial College London's forecasters advised Sadiq Khan, London's mayor, to issue the alert for Tuesday 10 November after still, foggy weather let smoke build up. A yellow Met Office fog warning, affecting areas of England and Wales, was in effect until 10am on Tuesday.
