This could be just another coincidence but it does happen most years. Jokingly people have long argued that the holidaymakers bring the rains with them. And there may be some truth behind this. www.operationoasis.com What changes have occurred that might be responsible for causing it to rain during the main holidays and could we put this to good practice elsewhere? On occasions the moisture from the ocean is sufficiently cooled to cause fog and provides us with a visible means of observing it's behaviour over various land surfaces. In our particular part of the coast we are privileged to be visited by some unusual low level clouds, we call mist or fog, rolling along the coastline. This provides us with a visual understanding of how a seemingly innocent looking road surface and sandy beach can prevent moisture from crossing onto the land and condensing on the leaves of trees to fall to the soil.
