Cultural Tip
In Brazil, fog (neblina) is most common in the South, in high‑altitude cities like São Paulo’s outskirts, and during early mornings in winter. While "tem" is perfectly natural in conversation, more formal writing often prefers "há". "Neblina" and "névoa" are interchangeable, but "neblina" is used more in everyday speech.
