About 3-ish last night I got up and looked out the window seeing mist.
It seemed quite thick but when I went for a walk at 6 am-ish there was
no trace of it.


Wouldn't the pavement slabs have been damp? Only one or two cars
(parked overnight on the road) showed a little dew.


OK, so it was an adiabatic thing but once there is precipitation or
condensation, it's out of the cycle, no?


Its life Jim but not as we know it.


Jim?

Flavio stepped up a notch or two over the last few hours:

Intense tropical cyclone Favio is forecast to strike Mozambique as a
very intense tropical cyclone at about 00:00 GMT on 22 February. Data
supplied by the US Navy and Air Force Joint Typhoon Warning Center
suggest that the point of landfall will be near 23.4 S, 36.4 E. Favio
is expected to bring 1-minute maximum sustained winds to the region of
around 212 km/h (132 mph). Wind gusts in the area may be considerably
higher.

So that keeps everything in line with the increased mistiness this
spell; which incidentally must be an archetype for that sort of thing.

Some pretty, ground hugging stuff this morning, developed well, then
dispersed as ephemeral as anything outside of Hollywood or wherever
they used to make those naff Hammer films in the bad old days.
