mist An aggregate of very small water droplets suspended in the atmosphere. It produces, generally, a thin, grayish veil over the landscape. It reduces visibility to lesser extent than fog. The relative humidity with mist is often less than 95 percent. Mist is intermediate in all respects between haze (particularly damp haze) and fog. See also drizzle.
