Plenty of mention about hazy skies today by forecasters even from one now
recognized in high circles but excellent horizontal visibility and fairly
deep blue sky in between the patches of cirrus and more dense sheets of
cirro stratus. A trip to a desert country or even southern Europe would
provide a more accurate description of haze. It is quite remarkable how ice
crystal cloud can be said to be hazy.
It is so simple to use an expression" a milky sky" than to say hazy when it
is not. Why constantly reinforce an inaccuracy.
Now I am off to give a talk to a group and I shall get then to look out of
the window and I might even mention an unmentionable word "cirrus".
