Things just got a little foggy in Greater Victoria
Environment Canada has issued a warning of near-zero visibility on parts of Vancouver Island due to heavy fog.
A fog advisory issued just before 4:15 p.m. on Sunday has forewarned residents of potential hazards for travel, especially overnight into Monday morning.
The advisory blankets Greater Victoria and East Vancouver Island, encompassing the Southern Gulf Islands, Sunshine Coast, and Metro Vancouver.
Environment Canada emphasizes the risk of hazardous conditions amid foggy areas that dip below freezing temperatures, potentially leading to slippery surfaces.
“Fog with visibility near zero at times will prevail tonight. Visibility is expected to improve on Monday morning. Fog may redevelop Monday night as a strong ridge remains in place,” the weather agency states.
Those planning to travel should check their flight statuses before heading out. There are currently no advisories or alerts for Victoria International Airport.
