Geografic Context

Geographic Context


Places in the world with more or less foggy and or cloudy weather:

Grand Banks
The foggiest place in the world is Grand Banks, a spot in the Atlantic Ocean off the island of Newfoundland, Canada. The cold Labrador Current from the north and the warm Gulf Stream current from the east create prime conditions for thick fog to form almost every day.

Whether as the least foggy place is in the wold would be either the Sahara or Death Valley because there is very little air in that region making it impossible for there to be fog.


Marion island and Prince Edward Island

These two small island located in the sub-antarctic Indian Ocean, they are considered one of the two most cloudiest places in the world. It rains on average about 320 days a year (about 28 days a month)
Summer and winter have fairly similar climates with cold winds and threat of snow or frost at any time of the year.

I got the information from the following place
