The sky over the federal capital dawned with thick fog on Wednesday (26/11). This phenomenon is the result of thermal inversion, when the temperature increases with height, rather than decreasing, leading to the formation of fog.
Meteorologist Mario Cuadro warns of precautions that must be taken during traffic due to dense fog. “The main thing to be careful about is the issue of visibility, because visibility in fog is very limited,” he said.
