Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration’s (PAGASA) weather services assistant chief Rene Paciente said the fog, a low-lying cloud, observed Monday was due to the passing of warm and moist air over the cold landmass of Metro Manila.
“The sunshine rarely reached the landmass because of cloudy skies and rains during the past few days causing the cooling of the landmass in Metro Manila. The warm and moist air spanned the cold landmass causing the condensation of moisture that formed the fog,” Paciente said.
The foggy condition caused cooler weather in the metropolis but triggered poor visibility among motorists. Metro Manila recorded a slightly lower temperature Monday at 22.9 degrees Celsius.
Paciente said a fog persists until the sun rises, and afterwards it begins to dissipate.
“The fog observed in Metro Manila was formed overnight and dissipated at past 8 a.m. on Monday,” he said.
