Befogó

Befogó, also known as foggy or misty, is a term used to describe a condition where visibility is reduced due to the presence of tiny water droplets suspended in the air. This phenomenon occurs when the air temperature and dew point are close to each other, causing the air to become saturated with moisture. The droplets scatter light, making objects appear blurry and reducing visibility to less than one kilometer. Befogó can occur in various environments, including urban areas, rural landscapes, and coastal regions, and can significantly impact transportation, aviation, and outdoor activities. It is often associated with calm weather conditions and can last for extended periods, sometimes lasting throughout the day. The term befogó is commonly used in Hungarian, but the concept is understood and applied globally.
