 | |  |  | Canberra International Airport: Airports and fogs don't mix | Tip Rating:   |  |  | |  |
Unfortunately, because of a combination of its position in a valley and the temperature inversions which develop inland in calm conditions, Canberra is prone to fogs on winter mornings: sometimes lasting until noon. This can cause havoc with airline services to and from Canberra, and is most likely in the period from May to August, on up to one day in three or four depending on the weather conditions. The weather criteria for aircraft to land are somewhat more stringent than for departures, so often the aircraft which have overnighted at Canberra are able to depart when the fog lifts a little, while other aircraft remain unable to land. If the fog persists as low stratus cloud, flights can be considerably delayed. This means that when you are planning airline travel to and from Canberra, it is wise to avoid bookings on morning flights and, in any case, discount seats are usually more readily available on mid-afternoon flights. If you must make a morning departure, try for the earliest flight because it is probable the aircraft will at least be on the ground and able to go when any fog lifts.
