A dense fog bank has rolled into the area surrounding the Aeropuerto Internacional de la Ciudad de MΓ©xico, significantly impacting flight operations and causing delays. As of now, flights have not been canceled, but travelers are urged to contact their airlines to check the status of their flights. The fog typically forms during this time of year due to fluctuating temperatures in the region, with ambient temperatures dropping considerably early in the morning. Currently, visibility is severely reduced, necessitating caution for both air travel and vehicular movement around the airport. The captain of a local news team explained that weather conditions will likely improve as morning progresses, with expectations for the fog to lift between 8:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. However, travelers must remain vigilant for potential cascading flight delays. This situation reflects a broader pattern of light fog and winter weather that can complicate travel, emphasizing the importance of travelers staying informed and prepared for sudden changes in conditions. Residents are reminded of the critical safety measures during such weather, particularly when driving through fog-filled areas.
