Sydney has been plunged into"dystopic" darkness as a smoke haze and thunderstorm clouds combined to block out the setting sun.

Sydney is looking so dark and dreary for 4:50 pm in the afternoon, in summer. Bushfire smoke mixed with grey clouds is just depressing.

'Hazardous' Sydney smoke 'unlikely to clear today', authorities warnFor the second time this week, smoke has blanketed the Harbour City and air quality has been rated hazardous, but this time authorities say the haze will be long-lasting. Not only is LiberalAus failing us on ClimateChange, they're slowly killing us with air quality India and China would be embarrassed by!! auspol ClimateCrisis We appear to have a southerly wind change tomorrow morning, which continues through the weekend. If that is the case we should be smoke free for 3 days? (Or am I looking at the wrong forecast here?) Anyone? Welcome to Hell. If you voted LNP or Labor (that's 90% of you) it's what you asked for.

Bad news Sydney — the smoke is here to stayThe smoke that has blanketed parts of Sydney for large chunks of this week is dissipating in some areas, but authorities have warned the Harbour City is likely to be affected by poor air quality for weeks. Slow clap for ScottMorrisonMP and the LiberalAus , you managed to destroy the Emerald City with your greed-driven science denial. Thanks. Keep burning all that coal then and ignoring climate change. Liberal Party supporters are getting what they voted for. Prayers for the fireys today Keep safe everyone 🙏
