Fog in Auckland

Unread post by David »

Sorry for starting a new thread for this but for some reason I can't post attachments in the Weather Blogs forum, and didn't know where else to put it.

Beautiful morning, few clouds in the sky, 11C, scent of salt in the air, with a moderate to heavy overnight dew. Did feel fairly humid yesterday and must have been higher than normal dew points overnight with a low of 9.4C usually not having a heavy dew (except around autumn/summer) :)

Looks like some lifted fog cloud to my northwest slowly drifting along, Akl airport observation for 6am and 7am this morning is fog in the vicinity :o
Would never have known here, great visibility this morning. It appears there is fog in central Akl (Grey lynn) and on the west coast.
Oh well, that's typical around here, some parts have had fog about four times this year, here there has not been one incidence :? whereas last year we had about 5 days (roughly the same as other parts). I think that obviously some parts are more prone to fog and that's just not here. :(

Anyway here's some photos I took about 15mins ago

Fog was caused by moist air under clear skies overnight, Auckland dewpoints are 13C.
Should be a warm day here.

May see some thundery weather here next week ;)

was very foggy here this morning
maybe the hauraki gulf has warmer water, so less fog forms?
nice day now though
managed to get some surfing in on the west coast and ended up with a pod of Hector Dolphins got in real close to me (3 metres away!) :)

Central Auckland in fog again this morning, and a small bank rolled across south of here a few minutes ago.
