Stack effect? I'm not totally sure about this...

Step-by-step explanation:

Large amount of tiny particles of water droplets, dust and smoke are present on a misty day. These tiny particles in the air scatter blue colour of white light passing through it. When this scattered light reaches our eyes, the smoke appears blue.
