Desert fog is a meteorological phenomenon that occurs when moisture in the air condenses into tiny water droplets near the ground, creating a misty or foggy atmosphere in arid regions. It can occur in desert areas where there is a sudden increase in humidity or temperature fluctuations, leading to the formation of fog despite the dry conditions.
