It's a hot, foggy day out there today.
Collingwood is under an extreme heat advisory issued by Environment Canada, and this morning, the bright blue sky and beating sun was blocked out by some lake-effect fog.
Since Collingwood is on the shore of Lake Huron, fog in the area can be common especially during the spring and early summer days when the Great Lakes are still cold.
Here's how it works according to the experts:
The surface layers of warm, moist air moving offshore are cooled by the water. The moisture in the air can condense into a fog and the breeze can blow the fog back to the shore. Lake-effect fog typically gathers at the shoreline, but it can creep inland several kilometers depending on the weather conditions.
