The National Centre for Meteorology, the NCM, issued a fog warning late last night, announcing very poor visibility (down to 1,000m at some times).

The fog alert was issued for 2am last night (Sunday night/Monday morning) and expected that the fog will clear by the later hours this morning.

It’s still a bit foggy

Doesn’t look like the best weather conditions for fireworks tonight!

But the fog is hopefully clearing during the day – otherwise some will have a rough New Year’s not seeing fireworks!

Here’s the forecast for the coming week
