I Walked Towards the Irradiation Fog Banks, in the Stretch of Road from Nova Vas to Metulje, in the Main Basin/Plain (Resja, 717m a.s.l.) of the Bloke Plateau; Internal Karst Region, South-Western Slovenia
19-July-2020: however the sun has already acted on the layered fog, which I will deepen with the next shots to post, combining it in more dynamic banks of fog, ready to rise and dissipate in the summer sultry-misty air.
The time to photograph these phenomena, in the height of summer, is few minutes after sunrise (I did some shots at dawn, before sunrise, with the tripod, to take a few more minutes), which warms from the first ray and we are talking about 5 CEST in the morning during the longest days of early summer, with the very first lights already at 3.40 in the morning/late night.
The result of a night's work is dissipated in 10-15 minutes.
In autumn and winter the phenomenon lasts longer and occurs at much more "common times" (between 7 and 8 in the morning), but is less frequent due to a greater meteorological dynamism and the frequent influx of the Bora wind (here mostly "in utero") that mixes the air preventing the local inversion and the formation of the hydrometeoric phenomena associated with it.
In summer, as mentioned, the greater atmospheric stability and the scarce presence of mixing winds favors the phenomena of (night) thermal inversion.
