Wollongong sees unexpected sea fog due to humid air and cooler coastal waters, reducing visibility.

Wollongong experienced unexpected sea fog on a bright summer's day, obscuring views of the escarpment and reducing visibility. The fog began around 12:30 PM, caused by humid air over NSW and cooler water due to coastal upwelling, with a land breeze pushing warm air over the water to form condensation. The Bureau of Meteorology noted the fog could last longer if the sea breeze doesn't pick up. They also reported a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms in the Illawarra region later that day.
