Another foggy start for Brisbane

Ben Domensino, Wednesday May 24, 2017 - 15:20 AEST

Flights were diverted from Brisbane Airport this morning as fog once again shrouded southeast Queensland.

Air and road traffic had trouble navigating in the thick fog, which hung around well into the morning and has become a familiar sight for locals this week.

Visibility has been reduced to 1000 metres or lower at Brisbane Airport on three of the last four mornings and dropped down to 200m at 6:30am today.

A stubborn high pressure ridge over southeast Queensland has caused light winds during the last few mornings, which has helped fog develop.

Despite the gloomy start, Brisbane is enjoying a warm and sunny day today now that the fog has burnt off.

Winter is Coming: Chilly day for Sydney, rain pelts eastern seaboard

17:22 AEST Just as we forecast yesterday, a coastal trough has deepened along the NSW and southeast Qld coasts as a low in the Coral Sea continues to inch closer to Qld. The trough has brought some interesting weather to NSW in the past 36 hours or so, particularly along the coastal fringe, giving those New South Welshmen a “Stark” Game of Thrones reminder: winter is coming.
