Malaga city, as well as various points of the Guadalhorce valley and the Costa del Sol, woke up to thick fog for the second successive morning on Wednesday.

The phenomenon, known as 'taró', was reported as far back as Phoenician times and is a type ... of sea advection fog. It normally occurs at this time of the year when a warmer southeasterly wind sweeps over the surface of the much cooler sea, creating high humidity (recorded at 100 per cent at the airport at one point) and a low fog.
