If the forecast in Bavaria calls for ‘nebel’—you’ll know that means fog. In modern German, the word for ‘November’ is ‘November.’ But an older German term for this month was ‘Nebel-mond’ which translates to English as ‘fog month’—it’s the time of the year when fog is most likely to roll in. In some parts of the world the topography and local climate make fog a regular feature of the weather, especially during certain times of the year. That’s called ‘fog season.’ Is there a fog season where you live?
