Radiation fog below the Mourne Mountains
Radiation fog can form in mountain valleys when a temperature inversion caused by heavier cold air settling into a valley, with warmer air passing over the mountains above. In this case the fog is thickened by smoke from countless chimneys. Newcastle, like much of Northern Ireland, has no piped natural gas so most homes have a coal fire. A snow capped Slieve Donard provides the background. The same day as this image was created BBC news was reporting gale force winds and torrential rainfall over much of the British mainland.
