A dense fog changed the landscape this morning in the coastal area. Be careful if you are traveling on roads affected by this loss of visibility, thus delaying the arrival and departure of the aircraft. 7 flights were diverted to Bastia, Marseille and Genoa airports, 2 flights were canceled.
This December 31st the fog on the Riviera beach calls itself. Airport management indicated that flights would resume at 11:30 a.m., with several flights arriving late this morning. Earlier today, 7 flights were diverted to Bastia, Marseille and Genoa airports and 2 were canceled from Riviera airport.
We have a relatively warm sea that produces moisture. This moisture, which creates fog, somehow gets trapped as the hot air above acts as a cover.
With the exception of the sun, which can make this fog thinner or thinner, the wind must remove it above all else. No wind today or tomorrow. The event is scheduled to continue during the day, until Sunday. It is possible to follow the evolution of the situation in real time on the site Frost.
Be careful on the roads
Be careful if you also plan to celebrate the end of the year this Friday.

The localized phenomenon, especially around Nice Airport, is gradually disintegrating. Flights are currently delayed. Airport crews have been converging since early this morning.
From 5:50 a.m. to 6:50 p.m., traffic was cut off for the first time. The fog then dissipated, and about ten departures were made. But from 8 a.m. onwards, the new wave of fog forced traffic to stop again.
7 planes had to be diverted due to this weather event. But apparently, Sebastien Camillis, duty manager at Nice C டிte d’Azur Airport, is optimistic. He notes that visits should resume during the day, slightly later than departure, as the need for visibility is high at the landing stage. 190 flights are scheduled for December 31stGood Cote d’Azur Airport.
This fog was observed in various parts of the Alpes-Maritimes from early morning, especially in the Cannes and Antipes bed.
