Fog is forecast to clear by 9am when temperatures reach the mid-teens for a mostly sunny day.

Overview

  • Dense radiation fog has reduced visibility to as low as 50 metres across Sydney this morning.
  • All ferry services were suspended at 6am, with east-of-bridge routes resuming around 6:30am while west-of-bridge lines remain halted.
  • Coastal and harbour roads are flagged as hazardous, prompting officials to urge drivers to slow down and drive to conditions.
  • Meteorologists say yesterday’s showers and light overnight winds created stable, humid conditions ideal for widespread fog formation.
  • The Bureau of Meteorology and Weatherzone predict the fog will lift by mid-morning, paving the way for a high near 21°C.
