Commuters in Sydney are advised to expect significant delays this morning due to heavy fog, which has resulted in the cancellation of ferry services. Transport authorities have recommended that passengers explore alternative travel options, such as bus services, as there is currently no indication of when ferry services may resume.
The fog has enveloped Sydney Harbour and extends into the northern and western parts of the city, severely limiting visibility, particularly around the Sydney Harbour Bridge, which was barely discernible from Milsons Point. Passengers using public transport should anticipate longer travel times, remain attentive to service announcements, and frequently check information boards for updates.
Fortunately, flight operations at Sydney Airport remain unaffected by the fog conditions. The Bureau of Meteorology has forecast that the fog will lift later in the day, with temperatures expected to reach a high of 21 degrees Celsius. However, as winds strengthen throughout the day, the bureau has also issued warnings regarding hazardous surf conditions, advising increased caution for activities like rock fishing, swimming, and surfing.
Commuters are encouraged to stay informed and plan their routes accordingly to avoid disruptions.
