Cape Breton HighlandsUnlike the coastal advection fog, the Highlands often experience "upslope fog." Moist air is pushed up the mountains of the Cabot Trail, cooling as it rises and creating cloud-like fog that can reduce visibility on high-elevation roads to near zero. Seasonal Timing
Weather maps use color-coded gradients to show visibility in kilometers or miles. This fog is then pushed inland by prevailing sea breezes
