    From UAE to around the globe: Here are the foggiest places in the world

    Fog-capped places stretch from New Zealand to Europe to America to Africa...


    Published:  January 17, 2021 18:11 Nilanjana Javed, Senior News Editor

    Dubai Fog Reader picture
    Dubai disappeared under a blanket of clouds this morning and it felt like everyone else in the world had vanished too for a moment. Loved that feeling of living in the sky? Check out other places across the globe where fog is a common element of life. Image Credit: Reader Picture/ Krishna Prasad

    Hamilton, New Zealand
    Hamilton, the fourth most populous city in New Zealand, is famous for its foggy mornings in winter, especially near River Waikato. The fog usually clears by noon, revealing a sunny day ahead. Image Credit: facebook/MetService New Zealand

    Point Reyes, California
    Point Reyes, California, can get so foggy that it built a special lighthouse. It’s located by the Bolinas lagoon and because visibility is so affected by the location, the lighthouse has been a lifesaver - literally. Image Credit: Shuttershock

    Cape Washington
    Cape Disappointment in Washington is another spot that experiences long periods of fog - in fact, one log puts the number of days at 106 per year. Image Credit: Shuttershock

    Golden Gate fog
    San Francisco, which is also in California, is so constantly draped in fog and mist that often giant structures such as the famous golden bridge are hidden from view. Image Credit: Pixabay

    Namib Desert, Africa
    Can fog really exist in a desert? Apparently. Namib Desert, Africa, which is about 1,200 miles of desert, has extreme weather. During the day, temperatures often exceed 45 degrees Celsius while at night they plummet to freezing. This change generates a puff of fog that hangs over parts of the desert.

    Po Valley, Italy.
    Po Valley, Italy, was known for its idyllic foggy days. However, climate change has been taking its toll on this special feature. Image Credit: @FreeNorthItaly

    Swiss Plateau in Switzerland
    On the Swiss Plateau in Switzerland, winters are still affairs with dense fog and biting cold air. Image Credit: Shuttershock

    Atacama Coast in Chile.
    Another desert that features in this list is on the Atacama Coast in Chile. While it’s the driest non-polar desert in the world full of sand and salt lakes, it’s located close enough to the coast for clouds filled with water to float through, generating humidity - and fog.

    Newfoundlanf fog
    Grand Banks are a cluster of underwater areas in Newfoundland that sees the northern cold Labrador Current mix with the eastern warm gulf-stream current, resulting in a thick fog almost every day. Image Credit: twitter/CBC Newfoundland and Labrador @CBCNL

    Mistake Island is the fog capital of the Atlantic coast. The Maine island plays host to about 1,600 hours of fog every year because of its location. Image Credit: facebook/Maine Coast Heritage Trust
