I truly hope you're not inferring some ridiculous conspiracy and instead meant to say 'contrail'..
EC got it just after 6pm through metro Melbourne. Looks like it will hit the surf coast about 4pm. Thinking it will become visible on the Doppler sometime between 3:30 and 4:30pm. These can be really tricky as the front will race along the coast then be slower inland.Any ideas for the timing of the cool change for central areas? Going to be a worrying day for some.
Nope. What you're seeing are contrails. "Chemtrails" are a dumb, easily-debunked conspiracy theory.A fair few chemtrails visible from here.
