Just for once it would be nice to have a lovely hot summer's morning in Edinburgh without it being blighted by haar!

haar? this is one of those weird scottish things like chav, boggin' or raj right?

:O)

I think it's from one of the norse languages...

It's sea fret, as it's known in the north of England (but not many other places apparently), basically fog caused by cooling of warm air on cool water which then drifts inland. On a warm day with an easterly breeze here, you can often get fog all day, or if the sun manages to burn it off which it often does in the afternoon, it will spectacularly roll back in in an eerie "dry-ice" sort of manner! (not just a couple of feet off the ground though...)

wow, it sounds pretty spectacular actually, not really much of a blight :)

When you know that ten miles inland it's baking hot and you're somewhere damp and cool, it loses the attraction...

Yeah, it would :)

But knowing me, I probably wouldn't be awake to see it!
