This kind of relates to the above............

Yesterday I went up at around 0900 with a small amount of haze, and was led to believe that as the day goes on and the temperature/pressure increases, the haze would get worse. Now I was of the understanding that as the temperature decreases, the dew point may be reached, and therefore lead to more haze/mist etc - so how does this work? Is it because the higher the temperature/pressure the more moisture the air can hold?

Sorry for the hi-jack, it's kinda related to summer flying conditions
