The aim of this paper is to study regimes of fog in urban areas and to determine its variation. It is used 5 years (2012-2016) of meteorological bulletins (SYNOP and METAR) from two meteorological stations (MS): Tbilisi (WMO code 37545) (403 m.s.l.), and Tbilisi airport (ICAO code UGTB) (495 m.s.l.).It is analyzed the following characteristics of fog: quantity of foggy days per months, duration (hours), periodicity of foggy days in different dates, fog gradation, and number of occurrences of fog. For a determination of changes in these characteristics, we compared 2012-2016 data to the mean of 1936-1965.
