Spooky “radiation fog” turns Saitama cityscape into Silent Hill overnight

Halloween may be over for this year, but the weather gods in Saitama clearly hadn’t got the message on Wednesday morning this week, as the city was shrouded in a mysterious thick fog – with an even more mysterious name!

Radiation fog is a kind of winter fog that occurs on clear, calm nights as thermal radiation causes the air near the surface to cool, and condensation forms. The freak weather, which enveloped the city’s skyscrapers, typically doesn’t last long, but it stuck around long enough to be broadcast live…

▼ …on the morning news!

Japanese netizens really had only one thing to say though:

“RADIATION FOG?? Even Saitama isn’t safe!”

“It’s radioactive!? No more nukes! No more nukes!”

Oh, and one more thing:

“It’s not Saitama, it’s Shizuoka!” [the kanji for Shizuoka (静岡) means ‘silent hill‘…geddit?]

There’s also this timelapse video, which is definitely the coolest video of fog I’ve ever seen. Huh. Now there’s a sentence I never thought I’d write…

▼ Such fog, though. Such fog.
