The AccuWeather post from December 18, 2025, features a striking photo of thick fog enveloping London on Thursday morning, making the clock face of Big Ben (the Elizabeth Tower) barely visible. The image shows pedestrians crossing a bridge over the Thames River in the misty atmosphere, capturing the iconic "pea-souper" vibe that London is famous for.
This was part of a real weather event in mid-December 2025, with dense fog affecting London and southeast England around December 17-18. Visibility dropped significantly, leading to travel disruptions, and some reports mentioned unusual "pink fog" effects from sunlight scattering through the mist. While not as deadly as the historical Great Smog of 1952, modern fogs like this still impact daily life, though air quality has improved dramatically since coal-heavy days.The post went viral, garnering over 3.5 million views, 23k likes, and thousands of reposts. Replies include humorous memes, references to classic London fog stereotypes (like Sherlock Holmes or "pea soup" smog), and atmospheric comments praising the eerie beauty—some even joking about time "running out" or renaming landmarks.Here are some similar images of Big Ben shrouded in dense London fog for visual context:(The original AccuWeather photo: a dimly lit Big Ben emerging faintly from gray fog, with silhouetted figures on Westminster Bridge.)
