Why is Halifax So Foggy?

Did you know that Halifax averages 121 foggy days per year?

That’s a third of the year that the city is covered in a thick blanket of fog!

During the summer months, southern winds bring warm and moist air to the Halifax region. Our chilly Atlantic waters cool the warm moist air, producing fog.

WHAT IS FOG? Fog forms when cold air moves over warm water. When the cool air mixes with the warm moist air over the water, the moist air cools until its humidity reaches 100% and fog forms.

ADVENTURE IDEA: Ride the Alderney Ferry to Downtown Dartmouth!

Grab a transfer so you can come back on a round-trip, or explore the other side of the harbour. The Alderney Ferry connects Halifax to Downtown Dartmouth, where you can discover a library, playground, and cool shops and restaurants!

Did you know: Children under 12 ride the ferry for free!

What did one cloud of fog say to the other? I don't know, it's a mist-ery!
