The view from Wheatstone Road of fog enveloping Titirangi/Kaiti Hill and the township area below. Gisborne was shrouded in fog this morning and at times visibility was down to around 50 metres in places. “Yesterday Gisborne was under the influence of a light onshore flow, which increased the amount of moisture in the air and you may have noticed the cloud cover,” said MetService forecaster Lewis Ferris. “As we moved into the evening period the onshore flow died away and the cloud broke up. This meant the surface could cool down quickly after sundown. The cooling surface caused the air near the ground to saturate, hence the formation of fog. “ Gisborne Airport first started to pick up fog traces around 8pm last night and it was still present at 8am this morning. “It could be a repeat situation this evening.” Herald photographer Liam Clayton was out and about to snap this shot. He ventured up Titirangi but was completely engulfed in fog. Picture by Liam Clayton
