Down the end of Dick Ward Dr?
That actually looks like a legit fog. Usually Canberra collectively sniggers whenever the Sydney news bangs on about fog that reduces visibility to 1km or something.

3 days of fog in Brisbane this week - planes even diverted to Vanuatu
Can they also divert my daily Translink bus to Vanuatu on foggy days?
Does it originate in LA?

Lovely weather in North QLD lately.
Winter has finally arrived.
8.9Ā°C recorded this morning at the Townsville airport in the city, and down around 6Ā°C at my place in the western suburbs.
The BOM prediction was for 12Ā°C for the city, but as always, it was colder than they forecast.
Forecast for tomorrow morning for the city is 9Ā°C with āPossible early morning frost.ā written in for the area forecast, so itās looking like itās going to be a lovely morning!

For the āWhat a difference 24 hours makesā filesā¦
Yesterday, Sydney had itās warmest July day on record (breaking the previous July maximum temperature record which was set in 1990) with maximum temperatures in the mid-high twenties.
Right now, itās only hovering around 11-12 degrees!

It looks like Perth will have the most rainy days this July.
Itās raining, wet and cold. Winter has come
Meanwhile here in Sydney, Spring is well and truly knocking at the door with mostly fine days and temperatures hovering around the low-mid 20s for the rest of the week.
Itās been a rather odd Winter, we havenāt had many major rain events or East Coast Lows so far!

Except that summers up here are pretty humid now.
That is so true. Itās gotten to the point where I want to move away from Sydney & surrounding areas for somewhere cooler & less humid such as Canberra, Melbourne or Tasmania. Sydney doesnāt really have a real 4-season climate anymore, in which itās more closer to Brisbaneās than to Melbourneās.

I prefer Melbourneās weather to Brisbaneās.

With very little rain over Sydneyās winter months this year weāre looking at similarities of 2013ā¦ come October we could be looking at another horrendous Bushfire seasonā¦ only time will tell.

Brisbaneās weather is sunny but shithouse. Too warm during the day to wear a jumper, but too cold in the early morning to leave the house without one. Annoying.

In my first thirty years of life I can only ever remember seeing snow on the North West Coast of Tassie once, in 1994 where it briefly fell but failed to settle.
We have now had 3 consecutive years which is so strange. August 2015 was everywhere and settled across many areas inlcuding the highway from Devonport to Launceston, last year wasnāt as much but there were a couple of instances and today it fell briefly without settling at lunchtime and a couple of times already tonight with more expected overnight and tomorrow. Expecting a very white Tasmania in the morning, not sure how it will compare to 2015 but I reckon some places will really cop it. The list of road closures on the Tas Police site is growing and will get quite large for a while tomorrow I reckon.

Climate change. But donāt let the non-believers out there hear this. The weather is getting far more unsettled as every year passes.
With a mostly dry period in large parts of the state again this year, particularly in the South (and this despite the heavy deluge the North copped just over a year ago too), Iām anticipating there will be an extreme summer period coming up this season for not only Tassie but for much of Australia.
For those interested, hereās a few clips with local coverage of the massive snow dump of August 2015:
