Tule Fog Blankets Central California
Update: 2025-12-13
Description
Tule Fog Blankets Central California: A Persistent Phenomenon - Satellite images reveal a massive, four hundred and fifty-mile-long fog bank over central California, causing unusually cold temperatures and impacting daily life. This persistent tule fog, known for forming in the Central Valley during colder months, is trapped by a temperature inversion, with warmer air above acting like a lid. The fog began in November and has continued into early December, contributing to chillier conditions and severe visibility issues, especially on mountain roads. Climate scientists suggest warmer overall conditions, including warm ocean water and a lack of snowpack in the Sierra Nevada mountains, are contributing to its unusual persistence.
