Following an afternoon of heavy rain, hail and strong winds at Melbourne's Tullamarine Airport, Sydney flyers are now being warned of delays across the airport as the rain descends on the city.
Speaking to news.com.au, a Sydney Airport spokesman said arriving passengers were facing delays of up to 30 minutes due to "heavy lightning and thunderstorm activity".
The short delays follow an afternoon of "horror" conditions in Melbourne, where more than 60 flights were cancelled throughout Wednesday.
An airport spokesman said Melbourne passengers should expect further delays this morning as airlines work through a backlog from Wednesday caused by heavy smoke conditions and wild weather.
