I want to shoot a brief film exercise, ideally in misty early-morning conditions. How do I go about finding a mist-forecast? Aha! (and Oho!) Find an Aviation Weather Forecast, because pilots and airports care about visibility. The following seems simplest and best for my purposes (given I am near Alton in Hampshire, UK):
- http://www.xcweather.co.uk/forecast/alton
- This Forecast weather table (by date and time), in its “Weather” column, includes a very obvious “Mist” icon when applicable.
- Warning: There is more than one “Alton” in the UK, it is necessary to select the required one, which is not the default.
Job (finding out when the next mist is due) done!
