An extremely rare sea fog has this afternoon rolled in to eastern parts of Auckland.
See reader photos of the fog in our Spring Gallery.
WeatherWatch.co.nz has had several reports of the fog moving in to eastern areas, particularly around North Shore and Takapuna…
The fog is clearly visible from eastern parts of Auckland.

Afternoon sea fog is very rare in Auckland and is created when moist air is cooled to saturation point by travelling over cooler sea – most common in Spring. A gentle easterly breeze is blowing the fog into populated eastern parts of Auckland.

We have just extended it out to Sunday: http://www.weatherwatch.co.nz/content/auckland
Also, at this stage, it looks as though early next week will be similar.
Very rare for us to have several days with the same forecast so we would imagine it will be fine tuned in the next 24 hours or so – but either way it looks dry and mostly calm at this stage.
Regards
WeatherWatch Team

I was walking along the waterfront this afternoon and watched as it drifted in. Reminded me of watching the same in San Fransisco. I spend a lot of time on the Waitemata harbour and don’t recall having seen this before in Auckland.
