Radiation fog forms when the ground radiates heat away into the atmosphere on a clear calm night. In winter, the ground is colder than in summer, making it easier for the air near the ground to cool and for fog to form. A slight breeze can also help the fog form by bringing moisture to the cooling surface. Therefore, a clear winter night with a slight breeze is the best condition for radiation fog to form.
