Fog is a pretty good hindrance for infra red radiation. Certain droplet sizes are more transparent than others and there is significant work being done to make infra red measurements through fog.

Sorry this probably won't answer your question, but... I just did an experiment where I had to find out what can stop a remote control signal for my TV. I tried a glass of water and you know when you first pour a glass of tap water, and it sometimes goes cloudy? Well the infrared remote control signal could not go through it, but as soon as the cloudiness went away the infrared went through it and worked.
