“That’s what we had this morning,” he said.
“You really need that temperature to cool down so the humidity can get to 100 per cent, and in our part of the world, that takes most of the night.
“You start to see that fog form around 3am or 4am.”
Hot morning sun, as Ipswich received later into Tuesday morning, “burns” the fog off.
After a low of 13C this morning, Ipswich is expected to reach temperatures as high as 27C, with showers – or possible storms – on the radar this afternoon.
“Tonight we’re expecting showers, maybe the odd storm, and that will hang around into the early hours of tomorrow,” he said.

IPSWICH has woken – and is waking up – to a rainy Easter Sunday.
A gentle pitter-patter may be a calming start to the day but it’s bad news for anyone planning to spend their Easter outdoors, with wet weather to continue, according to the weather bureau.
Bureau of Meteorology’s James Thompson said showers would persist throughout the day across Ipswich.
“Cloudy skies and some showers are around for most of the day,” Mr Thompson said.
“Not non-stop rain, just showers, which sort of means it’s going to be on and off throughout the day.
“Probably not the best day to go sunbaking.”
