- Nota Adicional2
- The term mist is used in weather reports when there is such obscurity, and the corresponding relative humidity is 95% or more, but is generally lower than 100%.
- Nota Adicional3
- Mist may be considered an intermediate between fog and haze; its particles are smaller in size, it has lower relative humidity than fog, and does not obstruct visibility to the same extent. There is no distinct line, however, between any of these.
