Sea Haar

Sea Haar, or ‘sea fret’ as it is also known in the North East of Britain, is used to describe a cold fog that accumulates at sea rather than on land.

Over the last week we’ve had some spectacular examples over the Sound, with layers of cloud, or fog, lying low over the water like a blanket of snow.

It’s usually burned off with the rising air temperatures by about lunchtime, but it has created some amazing looking scenes that we’ve watched from the house.

Every month brings different weather conditions and changing vistas. Every day this view looks different.

Who needs television?

  1. Sometimes when I drive away from my house (which is up in the hills) I can see low cloud or river mist below me in the valleys – magical and eerie! You seem to get fantastic views from your croft and with the weather as fickle as it is they must be always changing.

    1. It’s always changing. We love the weather systems here. I know the frequent rain would depress some people, but as long as there are some days when the sun comes out, we really don’t mind 😊
