Default Haze

I understand that MO use (or used to use) a relative huidity of 95% as a
guide to the dividing line between between mist and haze.
Further distinction between mist and fog is an arbitrary one of visibility.
Fog when vis less than half a mile, greater then mist.
(Maybe it has changed to metric since my day!)
