Australia’s largest centres have been impacted by fog lately, this morning it was Auckland to once again have a foggy start to the day.

Long cool nights, relatively mild ocean waters and calm weather have all helped create fog in eastern Australia and across parts of New Zealand in recent weeks, especially this past week.

There were still foggy patches over Auckland harbour/Waitemata Harbour as of noon but this afternoon foggy ares in Auckland have turned to cloud build-ups thanks to the morning moisture followed by daytime warmth and calm conditions. A shower is possible this afternoon or evening in the upper North Island.

It was a pea-souper in Hamilton and other parts of Waikato this morning too.

Our Twitter page was busy today with the photos you sent us…
