More dramatic pictures from this morning show how people in a County Durham town could barely see the end of their street.
People in Seaham woke up to another morning of sea fret as mist rolled in from the North Sea and covered the whole seafront.
On Saturday morning, beach-goers and visitors in Seaham described low visibility spanning the whole town.

It comes as similar scenes as far up as Whitley Bay in North Tyneside have been reported with much of the North East coast experiencing the phenomenon.
Meanwhile, on Friday residents in Sunderland described how tower blocks "disappeared" behind the haze as the sea fret brought cooler air with it.
At the time, some said the fog was "freezing" in comparison to the much warmer temperatures seen just minutes before.

What is sea fret?
According to the Met Office, also known as sea 'fret,' Coastal fog happens when warm air moves over the cool surface of the North Sea towards the east coast of the UK.
When it happens, the cold air just above the sea's surface cools the warm air above it until it can no longer hold its moisture.
This then forces the warm air to condense, forming tiny particles of water which forms the fog that you can see.
Coastal fog usually occurs in the spring and summer months when conditions begin to warm up but the sea (which warms more slowly) stays relatively cold.
