^^ you should've, because the inversion that happens in these setups would've made the Dandenongs LESS jooooooooooooo-eeyyyy and WARMER than the surrounding plains! Fog is very low lying, topping out at only 100-300m most of the time. Plus you could've enjoyed some real dark sky, as the city would've been below the fog!

just check the minimum temp obs here: http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDV60900.shtml

mt dandenong had the warmest night, and if you click on the station name, you'll find it was the driest of all the places in melbourne aswell!

lol not quite! I'll try again tonight, the fog burnt off quicky and it's drier than yesterday so hopefully less dew, better seeing!
Current humidities are still well over 60% though across Melb, 98% at phillip island! very cold at 11C there also, maybe the evil fog is still lingering down there, ready to pounce.... Bad sign....
