This document describes an unusual heavy fog event in Tel Aviv, Israel, where low clouds and fog rolled in from the Mediterranean Sea and covered the city. While fog is rare in Tel Aviv, this event resembled scenes more common to cities like Hong Kong and San Francisco, with the fog surrounding towers and obscuring the skyline. The heavy fog started suddenly one afternoon and remained stagnant for three days with no wind, providing residents shocking views they had only seen in movies.

1. this is NOT Hong Kong
Well...this is Tel Aviv and not Hong Kong....but this point of view reminded me many images I've
seen of Hong Kong. As you can see, a heavy fog that arrived from the Mediterranean sea into Tel
Aviv advanced and covered the city. Low clouds and heavy fog covering the city might be a
regular scene in San Francisco, but it is very unusual to have such a scene in Israel.
Fog is a rare phenomena in Israel and especially in Tel Aviv, as the city resides on the
Mediterranean sea.
Its not New York or Hong Kong, but watching this image you can get some impression of the
architecture of the Tel Aviv with its few towers and skyscrapers. These low clouds surrounded
the major Reading power station in Tel Aviv, and advanced to the sport arena in the middle and
the city new towers in the front of this image.
The heavy fog started suddenly on a Thursday afternoon, where people working in the city

2. skyscrapers observed huge low clouds coming from the sea, probably from Cyprus and slowly
advancing into the city. For some people this was a shocking scene that was seen only in
movies like "the day after". The fog stayed all night across the shoreline and refused to go
anywhere. In the next three days there was no wind, so these low clouds didn't go anywhere.
