Good Morning!
As a person who has lived along the Coast of Nova Scotia all my adult life I Know Fog!
Yes Fog!
We deal with it on a regular basis in the summer months .
What is Fog ?
Fog is caused by tiny droplets of water and/or ice crystals that are suspended in the air near the ground.
Fog forms when the dew point and air temperature difference is less than 4 °F (2.5 °C).
Fog that forms at a higher altitude will form a stratus cloud.
Relative humidity will be at or near 100% at the ground level when fog forms.
A freezing fog advisory is issued when widespread fog is developing or already has developed, along with ground temperatures at or below 32 °F (0 °C)
Are there different types of Fog ?
This from The National Geographic Society : There are several different types of fog, including advection fog, evaporation fog, freezing fog, frontal fog, ground fog, hail fog, ice fog, precipitation fog, radiation fog, and upslope fog.
