The same thing that causes London’s famous fog. Warm air blowing over cold water = fog. Why? The warmer the air, the more water vapor it can carry, when that air travels over cold water it cools and when it does, it can no longer contain as much water vapor. The water vapor then condenses into liquid water droplets aka clouds, aka fog.
