The duration of fog depends heavily on weather conditions, geographic location, and the specific meteorological type of fog. Radiation fog, which commonly forms on clear, calm nights, typically dissipates within a few hours after sunrise as solar radiation warms the ground and evaporates the water droplets. Conversely, advection fog or sea fog can persist for days if persistent winds continuously push warm, moist air over a cold surface. In heavy valley inversions or coastal marine layers, fog can linger all day or clear only briefly during peak afternoon warmth.
