Radiation fog occurs at night and usually does not last long after sunrise, but it can persist all day in the winter months especially in areas bounded by high ground. Radiation fog is most common in autumn and early winter. Examples of this phenomenon include tule fog. [19] Ground fog is fog that obscures less than 60% of the sky and does not ...
Tule fog is a radiation fog, which condenses when there is a high relative humidity (typically after a heavy rain), calm winds, and rapid cooling during the night. The nights are longer in the winter months, which allows an extended period of ground cooling, and thereby a pronounced temperature inversion at a low altitude.
Likewise, warming air decreases the relative humidity. Warming some air containing a fog may cause that fog to evaporate, as the droplets are prone to total evaporation due to the lowering partial pressure of water vapour in that air, as the temperature rises. Relative humidity only considers the invisible water vapour.
Fog over the Golden Gate Bridge (May 2009). Fog is a common weather phenomenon in the San Francisco Bay Area and the entire coastline of California extending south to the northwest coast of the Baja California Peninsula.
The “headstand” posture is caused by high humidity caused by fog conditions. Low temperatures, observed to be below 20 degrees Celsius during nocturnal fog, [10] may play a role in modulating the behaviour, but low temperatures do not seem to be capable of triggering the “headstand” posture without high humidity conditions.

A six-month pregnant teacher from California has died in hospital after falling down a gorge while hiking in Greece, according to reports. Clara Thomann, 33, from Santa Barbara was left critically ...
In Chile, a similar fog is called camanchaca. Garúa brings mild temperatures and high humidity to a tropical coastal desert. It also provides moisture from fog and mist to a nearly-rainless region and permits the existence of vegetated fog oases, called lomas. Garúa in Lomas de Lachay, near Lima, Peru,
High winds and low humidity are expected to continue through the weekend until Wednesday — but Thursday could bring a possible respite.
