When temperature increases and humidity of air decreases the fog dissipates. Answer, Fog is moisture in the air condensing due to cooler ambient temperature at ground level. As the ambient temperature increases, generally due to the sun, the moisture in the fog will burn off and the fog will lift. You can't see vapor, but you can see droplets of water, droplets small enough to float in air (brownian motion). Whenever the droplets evaporate (heat, low humidity, etc) the water doesn't go anywhere but now you can see through it, thus "no fog".

First understand how clouds form.
When moist air at 100% humidity cools the air can't hold the moisture and the water condenses into colloidal droplets which can stay airborne (bigger drops fall as rain). The mass of colloidal water droplets are clouds.
Dispersing clouds run this process in reverse.
As the air gets warmer from sunshine or from coming closer to the ground (as an air mass comes down, its pressure goes up and, by the gas laws, its temperature goes up as well) the warmer air can hold more moisture and the water in the cloud droplets vaporizes back into invisible vapour.

Fog has condensed moisture in cool air. The sun coming up signals the beginning of the fog "going". Sun warms the air, deceases moisture content and reduces condensation. As this happens, the whole fog bank rises. It goes higher and higher as it gets warmer and lighter. Eventually it is just one more regular cloud.

What does the dissipating stage of a thunderstorm do?

The downdraft overcomes the updraft, which effectively cuts off the fuel to keep the storm going. The clouds dissipate and leave behind a cirrus cloud.


Why are clouds not evaporated if they are water vapour?

Clouds are made up of water droplets of varying size, or ice crystals, not water vapour. Water vapour is the evaporite of clouds, and clouds often dissipate, so the water droplets making up the cloud change from visible water droplets to invisible water vapour. The "vapour trails" from aircraft engine exhausts are actually areas of cloud formation as water from burnt fuel condenses in cold air aloft.
