evening haze; evening mist
Refers to the hazy or misty atmosphere that appears in the evening, often with a poetic or literary feel.

Standard kanji spelling. 靄 is a non-jōyō kanji, so the kana form 夕もや is also common.
Common kana-mixed spelling, often used when the kanji 靄 is considered difficult.
Compound of 夕 (yū, 'evening') and 靄 (moya, 'haze, mist'). The reading ゆうもや is a straightforward combination of the two elements.
