Brisbane woke to a "fairly thick" and "persistent" fog this morning, a result of build up of moisture according to the Bureau of Meterorology.

Meteorologist Shane Kennedy said the fog was spread across coastal areas, but was thickest in the south-east. 

"Mainly through the southern and western suburbs of Brisbane, thankfully it didn't have much impact on the airport," he said.

Mr Kennedy said it was "coming in waves" through the CBD earlier this morning. 

He said a build up in moisture, combined with recent showers in the region have helped to keep the cloud from moving. 

"That's allowed the fog to persist a little bit longer than it usually would…typically it would go away an hour or two after sunrise," he said. 

"There's a chance we could see some patchier fog [Wednesday] morning but that's probably unlikely."

The fog had started to lift around the Archerfield and Amberley airports by 9am and did not impact any flights from the Brisbane airport.
