Default Sydney Fog 2013

Visibility is improving, but visibility is still only 8km in haze, with fog having descended before 6 this morning.

Lots of racetracks being flown by arriving aircraft. It looks like QF8 (ex Brisbane!), VA916 (ex Brisbane!), QF130 (ex Shanghai), PAC4011 (ex Narita), CP161 and VA90 are heading to Brisbane. JQ953 (ex Cairns) has just altered course to Brisbane. AC33 (ex CYRF) and VA51 (ex Auckland) are heading to Melbourne.

I can't say for sure but I don't think this was forecasted. Would've been a rude shock getting the updated forecast halfway to Sydney. The forecast looks a bit of a mess at the moment

Fog looks like it is affecting operations this morning. Some of the early arrivials (like the QF12) have diverted to MEL.

Rather than having a new thread for each report, can we rename this thread "Fog 2013" and post all news in one thread?

FedEd 77 landed on 16L this morning.
