The article focuses on the characteristics of air temperature and dew point changes observed during repeated fog events in the Absheron Peninsula in 2000...2022. For this purpose, continuous observation data of Heydar Aliyev International Airport was used. Here is an analysis of all types of fog by month of occurrence. The limits of total fog, Meteorological Optical Range ≤ 500 m and 501...1000 m are considered in the analysis. Repeating such criteria, attention was paid to the recorded air temperature and dew point indicators for I...III, IV...VI and X...XII months of the year. The analyzes show that the fogs observed in the peninsula are mostly recorded at a temperature of 6...8 0C. The most commonly observed dew point temperature ranges of 0,0...0,3 0C and 1,0...1,2 0C at all ranges of MOR in fog repeats. The results of the research are of particular importance for the planning of the work of all transport areas and the forecast of fogs.
