Secondly, Wellington gets at least one day a year like this ... The city has an amazing calm summers day while the southern suburbs including the airport  are covered in a very thick sea fog. Many flights in and out of the capital were cancelled upsetting a lot of travel plans. 

Thanks Nicholas for capturing one of our bizarre weather occurrences.
