Fog has blanketed Auckland this morning, causing flight disruptions.

As a result, Auckland Airport said a number of international flights are delayed and domestic flights cancelled.

Some flights to Blenheim, Taupō, New Plymouth, Bay of Islands, Whangārei, Rotorua and Nelson had been cancelled.

MetService said the "gloom" was expected to clear through the morning and afternoon.

We can identify the extensive fog from Auckland to Waitomo this morning by the smooth un-moving cloud in the satellite image below.

The gloom is expected to clear during this morning and afternoon & is not forecast to be so widespread overnight tonight.https://t.co/hnwmGxCYeR pic.twitter.com/JAHK4qrEwt
