Flights delayed as thick fog blanketed Adelaide, outer suburbs and hills

Thick fog enveloped Adelaide – totally obscuring the city’s skyline – on Friday morning, causing flight delays and dangerous road conditions. See our pics.

A heavy blanket of low-hanging fog covering many parts of Adelaide on Friday morning caused flight delays at Adelaide Airport and dangerous road conditions.

Four Adelaide-bound flights were delayed just after 8am, and sent into a holding pattern.

All other domestic and international flights earlier in the morning were able to land.

Fog was particularly heavy in the Hills and eastern suburbs – and made its way into the CBD.
