I was very surprised that the haze didn't get a mention on the Radio 4
forecasts this morning given that it is, and has been, so thick, so
widespread and so persistent across most of the country. The impression
given by the forecasts was that some parts would have fog at first but
once that had burnt off there would be bright sunshine but with some
showers developing in the west.. In reality, if the past couple of days
are anything to go by, there'll be hazy sun from a milky sky and below
30 deg elevation the sky will be a dirty brown colour.

A very good example of what it looks like in NW Scotland can be seen on
one of the webcams on Skye at
