All change

The reason British people talk about the weather all the damn time is that two weeks ago I got hailed on, yesterday was hot enough that I sweated through my clothes, and today there's haar stopping me seeing more than 100m.

Well, since a Hungarian mathematician, a portfolio WordPress theme, or an abbreviation for Helicopter Air-to-Air Refueling in the US Air Force probably ain't limiting your vision, I think you must be talking about a coastal sea fog and that ain't a typo?

We've still got 'hoar,' which is supposedly related, but no 'haar.'

LOL! Today I learned a new term for weather: 'haar', a cold sea fog. It may apply to British [Scottish] weather, but I'm pretty sure the term can also apply to the cold San Francisco summer bay/Pacific ocean fog.
