20 Foggiest Cities in the US

1. New Orleans, Louisiana

Average Number of Days with Fog = 200

New Orleans, located in Louisiana secures the first position on our list of the foggiest cities in the US. The city experiences an average of 200 foggy days annually. The city also sees 118 days per year when the sky is partially covered with clouds. New Orleans has a humid subtropical climate, characterized by frequent partly cloudy conditions. Around 40-50% of the sky is typically covered with clouds throughout the year.

In October last year, the city experienced what the National Weather Service described as “super fog.” This was a mix of heavy smoke from fires in the marshy areas of southern Louisiana and the dense fog that often forms on cool, still mornings. Smoke from a marsh fire east of New Orleans mixed with thick fog and reduced the visibility on highways. This led to a series of severe crashes, transforming a portion of Interstate 55 near New Orleans into a scene of wrecked vehicles. Authorities reported that 158 vehicles were involved in this accident and it led to 25 injuries.
