The Fog is a phenomenon occurring in Persona 4 and Persona 4 Golden.
Profile
The fog weather has been a recurring phenomena in Inaba for the past few years and been a focus of health concerns.[1] According to a TV show watched by Yasogami High's teacher Mr. Kondo, Inaba gets covered in fog every 50 years.[2][3]
In the narrative, the fog is used as a metaphor for the truth being obscured.[4]
Mechanics
Persona 4
After a few days of rain, the fog will settle in Inaba. For the Investigation Team, this represents a deadline to rescue the person currently inside of the TV World. The weather forecast for the week can be seen on the TVs at the Dojima Residence and also by talking in the food court at Junes. If the group fails to save someone, then a party member will call the protagonist and let him know the victim was found dead in the Central Shopping District. After, Igor will offer to rewind time and give the group another chance.
From November 21st until the end of December, the Weather every day will be foggy weather, but this has no effect on gameplay or Social Link availability and it is similar to good weather.

Thick fog has appeared frequently in Inaba over the past few years, and the cause of it has yet to be determined.
