I happen to like humid, sometimes foggy weather in the 60F - 70F range. Since there is no wind (fog kind of implies little to no wind) and it is humid, it does not feel cold (you might need long sleeves, though). It feels both refreshing and very soothing at the same time. I like the sun as much as most people but sun drains you out in a way. This is completely opposite of that. You can feel much more relaxed. It also looks cool - as if you are in some fairy tale, with the washing away the contrast making everything look softer, gentler. As if everything, yourself included, is wrapped in a cloud. All this assumes no rain, of course.

I feel like this would feel especially nice after you've had a long string of warm (or hot) sunny days and had just about enough of them.

Well, it's certainly much better than chilly fog that is near freezing or say in the 40s F.

I don't really live in a climate where I feel summers are long or sunny enough to want relief from the heat, but if I did live in a place where highs of 90F going on for quite a while (at least a solid several months), I would like to have that kind of weather for spring/fall. I actually don't mind the occasional foggy day that way, if to take a walk in that kind of outdoor condition with a soothing, surreal feel as you describe.

I like fog, but don't see enough of it here. There was only 1 day of it in the last 18 months. It was during summer and created a very surreal feeling. Inland from here gets more fog.

Yeah it's nice. Here in Denver we don't see much of that with dry air/low humidity. Most days are sunny and crisp, but recently we had two days of constant light rain and the third day it was nice to see the fog. Especially with the way it surrounds the mountains and it seemed surreal/eerie. More like what most places show fall to be like. It wasn't cold either. I wouldn't want that constantly, but it was a nice break from the norm.

Fog sucks. I want clear blue skies and bright sunshine thank you.

Weather's been a load of misty crap for days here now.

Yes, I like foggy cool weather, but only in small doses. It would drive me crazy to be a consistent weather pattern. Occasionally though, it is neat to have.

Fog is a bit of a novelty, but I would hate it if I had to drive in it. If we had fog regularly then it would become annoying.

I enjoy foggy, dreary weather, though driving in it certainly poses a challenge at times.

I thought fog was common in London. How many days would it average annually?
