I went flying today and it was a terrific VFR day. Calm winds, clear skies, no trubulence. However, as I climbed up the Haze was just all over. At times it looked like I was flying into a pea soup!
Now I must confess my knowledge of weather is adequate and I know that haze forms largely in the summer time but beyond that I know almost nothing about it. I'm asking for some help here from people way more knowledgable than me about weather.
What is haze? What causes it? Can it be forecasted?
I'm curious because those of us who've flown in haze know that it can cause a nice VFR day to become extra challenging especially while flying into the setting sun.
