Malahat Highway - Goldstream to Mill Bay
Yellow Advisory - Fog
4:16 a.m. PST Wednesday 14 January 2026

Impact Level: Moderate

Forecast Confidence: High


What: Widespread fog reducing visibility to near zero.

When: This morning.

Where: East Vancouver Island, Greater Victoria, Southern Gulf Islands, Malahat Highway.

Additional information:
A ridge of high pressure over the south coast is trapping cool and humid marine air. As a result, widespread fog has formed. Conditions are expected to improve later this morning as a weak front mixes some of the moisture out.

Visibility will likely be suddenly reduced at times.

Weather in the mountains can change suddenly resulting in hazardous driving conditions.

Widespread near zero visibility is possible. Adjust travel plans accordingly.
