pamelazzz Posted July 22, 2013 #1 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Hello All - We are going to book the Magic for either June or July 2014. I know sometimes fog is an issue in Galveston. Was hoping some one could tell me if June was typically clear, or might pose a problem? Thank you, Pam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Tillie Posted July 22, 2013 #2 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Fog is a result of warm air above meeting with cooler air below; trust me, in June and July the air isn't just warm at Galveston, it's HOT at all leverls! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssb Posted July 22, 2013 #3 Share Posted July 22, 2013 When cold fronts coming across or down from the northwest and north US dip down into Texas then fog can occur. These same fronts usually swing eastward and northeastward and sometimes cause much more severe weather problems to the east coast. Last year it's my understanding there was only one fog delay for cruise ships in Galveston during November to April. None otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamelazzz Posted July 22, 2013 Author #4 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Thank you for the responses- and the head's up on the heat:). For some reason I thought fog had been an issue with the ships. Perhaps there was a very foggy season some time back. Looks like we will be booking June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssb Posted July 22, 2013 #5 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Fog can be problem upon entire gulf coast Texas to Florida during fog season depending on Mother Nature. Supposively US Coast Guard, cruise lines, and port authorities met, and have made changes in order to help get ships in and out of port in Galveston during certain conditions. So between changes and apparantly less fog last year Galveston was smooth sailing even with more ships sailing out of there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galveston Cruiser Posted July 23, 2013 #7 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Kind of weird. We don't have snow and the average summer temp in July & August is well into the 90's. Last time it snowed was December 24, 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
