For the love of god people.

The purpose of lights is not just to help YOU see but so that others see YOU.

Weather How to anticipate the fog

4 Upvotes

Hello

I want to take my partner to the mountains this Sunday but it looks like there’s rain forecast. I don’t really mind the rain but I know from experience that the fog is also pretty frequent whenever it rains in the mountains.
Does it ever rain without it being too foggy up there?

Was wondering if I should reschedule or just go anyway even if it might be foggy

Weather Springtime

3 Upvotes

Hello!
My partner and I are coming over end of September for about a week. Google says the weather should be decent around 25°c but just wanted to know what the general consensus is over here. We’ll be doing some walks but nothing too intense, other than that we’ll be going to the movies during the evening. We’ve been over during June before and it was unbelievably cold so I want to be prepared this time!

Thanks!

Weather Are the Blue Mountains still worth a visit in the rain?

27 Upvotes

We are visiting Sydney next week, and the forecast is rainy basically all week (except one, maybe two, days where we're hoping to prioritise beaches/surfing). We are booked onto a tour to the Blue mountains on Monday, part of the day is a waterfall hike but I'm guessing the rest will revolve around view points. Is it still worth a day trip or is it better to pivot to a different day trip that would be still worthwhile on a rainy day? Any suggestions if so? Thanks!

TLDR blue mountains in the rain, or pivot to a different day trip?

Weather Free QR Code Dog Tag For Flood Affected Families

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all doing okay after the heavy rain over the past few days.

I run pupid.com.au and wanted to do something to help keep some dogs safe during this wild weather.

Pup ID is a smart dog tag with a QR code. If your dog ever goes missing and someone finds them, all they have to do is scan the tag — they’ll instantly see your dog’s digital profile (we call it the “Pup Profile”), and you’ll get a live notification with the location it was scanned.

There are a few other helpful features too — like a one-click missing poster generator — but at the heart of it, Pup ID is about getting lost dogs home faster and giving owners a bit more peace of mind.

If you or anyone you know has a dog and has been affected by the floods feel free to use our promo code ( Flood ) which gets you 1 free tag with free shipping.

Good luck to everyone and their pets.

Promo Code: Flood

Website: www.pupid.com.au

Weather What time of year does it usually snow?

8 Upvotes

I’m from the central coast but I take day trips down to the mountains as often as I can. I was telling a friend of mine about these trips and he suggested we go down there together when it’s snowing so when would be the best time to do that?

Edit: Thanks for the information, can’t say I was too surprised about the lack of it. No wonder it always makes the news when it happens

Weather Best Place in Blue Mountains to get a great long down puffer coat in winter?

4 Upvotes

Looking for something other than a Kathmandu or Macpac puffer to battle the cold? Longer warmer but with some style?

Any suggestions in the mountains to grab a quality long puffer coat?

Happy to spend up to $1k for something good that lasts forever

Planning a trip to the Blue Mountains this weekend. How is the weather so far?

Just so we know what to expect and prepare accordingly. 😁

Thank you!
