CI Forecaster predicts fog will lift and flights resume

Since Christmas Eve, fog has forced several Channel Island flights to be cancelled and delayed.

Travellers hoping to get home or jet off should have better luck tomorrow. (28 December).

Jersey Met Senior Forecaster Rob Plummer says visibility should improve.

"The computer model suggests that the cloud will lift a couple more hundred feet tomorrow and the next day.

I can’t rule out a couple more moments of fog this weekend, but it’s not looking disruptive anymore, because it’s not looking prolonged.

There will be more mist than fog, mist being with a visibility greater than 1 kilometre which is adequate for flying.

It doesn’t look very different when you’re out and about on the street from a flying point of view that’s good enough to come and go."

He says the boats usually have more trouble in December.

"Unusually the seas have been very calm, winter fog is not surprising but it doesn’t happen quite as often as rough seas.

So this situation we currently have of great sailing weather and poor flying weather is kind of the opposite of what you would expect."
