Residents across Perth have awoken on Sunday morning to find a heavy fog is blanketing the city. The CBD and Perth's northern suburbs have received the worst of the eerie conditions, with major roads like the Mitchell Freeway coated in a thick haze.
The misty conditions have prompted Main Roads to issue an urgent warning to motorists braving the roads this morning. Due to reduced visibility, drivers are urged to switch their headlights on and ensure they keep a safe braking distance. Anyone travelling on the roads is also encouraged to drive with caution and consider allowing extra travel time.
The fog is expected to lift later in the morning, but until then, motorists should remain vigilant. The heavy fog has created a surreal atmosphere across the city, with landmarks barely visible through the dense mist. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely and will provide updates as conditions change.
Perth residents are advised to check traffic reports before heading out and to plan for potential delays. The fog is particularly dense in low-lying areas and near the coast. Pedestrians are also urged to take care when crossing roads. This weather event is a reminder of the importance of adapting driving habits to changing conditions.
