The motorway was closed due to thick fog, and numerous flights at the Lahore airport were canceled and rescheduled on Sunday.
The thick fog has dissipated throughout Punjab’s cities, particularly in Lahore.
The motorway police closed the M-3 from Faizpur to Samundari due to poor visibility in the dense fog.
While dense fog disrupted aircraft operations at Allama Iqbal International Airport in Lahore on Sunday morning, two flights were canceled and 11 were rescheduled.
The airport’s visibility was decreased to 800 meters, causing five aircraft to be delayed.
Fog is a visible aerosol consisting of tiny water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air at or near the Earth’s surface. Fog can be considered a type of low-lying cloud usually resembling stratus, and is heavily influenced by nearby bodies of water, topography, and wind conditions. In turn, fog affects many human activities, such as shipping, travel, and warfare.
Fog appears when water vapor (water in its gaseous form) condenses. During condensation, molecules of water vapor combine to make tiny liquid water droplets that hang in the air. Sea fog, which shows up near bodies of saline water, is formed as water vapor condenses on bits of salt. Fog is similar to, but less transparent than, mist.
