SF’s Fav Icon “Karl the Fog” Returns to Twitter
San Francisco’s sassy weather icon Karl the Fog has returned!
@KarlTheFog went mysteriously silent in January 2020 right around the time the 49ers were in the Super Bowl and when COVID started to dominate the news. After two years missing, Karl the Fog has reappeared nearly to the day of his disappearance with an update.
Oh, hey down there. I know it’s been awhile, so hope you still recognize me 🤞 (I put on a few metric tons over the last two years).
Moved in with my parents in Point Reyes at the start of the pandemic. The free rent was great, but nothing beats hanging 6ft away from you.

His last tweet was on January 19, 2019 cheering on the 49ers..
The fog horn blows because the #49ers are going to the Super Bowl!!

The National Weather Service gave Karl a warm…err… cool welcome back.
We’ve mist you. #cawx

In Karl’s absence, after 10 months of silence, a new Twitter voice of the fog emerged. Karla The Fog had been the unofficial replacement to pick up the voice left vacant by KarlTheFog, because “The Fog Must Go On!” Will Karla the Fog stick around? She chimed in to mention…”I’m always hanging around.”
Why would we ever need to say good bye? I’m always hanging around. 🌫️🌁🌫️
