San Francisco International is notorious for its marine layer fog, which rolls in from the Pacific Ocean and regularly reduces visibility below instrument landing minimums. When fog is present, SFO must operate on a single runway for arrivals rather than two, cutting arrival rates from around 60 aircraft per hour to 30 or fewer. This triggers some of the most consistent and predictable ground delay programs in the US — passengers on early morning transcontinental flights to SFO should monitor conditions the night before.
