What season is most prone to fog?

Spring. Fog mostly appears between February and April in spring. The conditions of fog formation are cooling, humidification and condensation to increase water vapor content.

If the ground heat is lost, the temperature drops and the air is quite humid, then when it is cooled to a certain extent, some water vapor in the air will condense out and become many small water droplets suspended in the air layer near the ground to form fog. Both it and clouds are caused by temperature drop, and fog can actually be said to be a cloud near the ground.

The duration of fog is mainly related to the humidity of the local climate: generally speaking, the short fog in arid areas dissipates within 1 hour, while the long fog in humid areas is the most common and lasts for about 6 hours.

Extended data:

The smog in the city is caused by another reason, and that is human activities. Morning and evening are the peak hours of heating boilers. Under the condition of low air pressure and low wind speed, a large number of pollutants, such as smoke, suspended solids and automobile exhaust, are difficult to diffuse, and it is easier to form smoke (fog) when combined with water vapor in the lower air, and this smoke (fog) often lasts for a long time.

The fog dissipates because, firstly, the fog drops evaporate due to the warming of the underlying surface; Second, the increase of wind speed will blow the fog away or lift it into clouds; Then turbulent mixing, water vapor upload, heat transfer, and evaporation of droplets near the ground. The duration of fog is mainly related to the humidity of the local climate: generally speaking, the short fog in arid areas dissipates within 1 hour, while the long fog in humid areas is the most common and lasts for about 6 hours.
