Any given type of weather can last a random number of hours within the range defined by the set Minimum and Maximum intervals. There is a Minimum and a Maximum weather change setting for each season of each "weather zone". When the weather change interval elapses, a new random weather is generated. If you are unlucky, 2 or more foggy weather types can happen in a row. There is no way to change weather type probabilities, other than by setting different seasons.
Dynamic Environment added 84 new weather zones, over a number of 3 set in stock game. This implies that the more the player will move far from the poles, the shorter the winter season, the lower the chance of fog.
Moreover, in order to make the game to shuffle more the weather, autumn, winter and spring weather change intervals were made shorter than in stock game for most weather zones (i.e: 3 to 12 hours).

I think so. For some reason, medium fog seems to be the standard weather when a savegame is reloaded. If you are lucky, this weather will change within 3-12 hours (DynEnv settings). If you are unlucky, the next generated weather will be equally foggy
The secret? Always save your games while in mid-patrol, or after having dealed with an enemy convoy. Never save before planning an attack
