Posted on Wednesday 13th January 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
Caution is the word for this morning.
Whilst clear at base, half way upwards I make visibility at about 100-150m with moderate to stiff winds. A shame as there are still areas of bounce around ruined by not being able to see the ground before you.
It might clear up later on but in the meantime be wary of people coming out of the fog behind you.
