Re; - 'Is there a mechanism in place which reminds pilots of Perth's local pear shaped weather'
TTF METAR YPPH......Trend type Fcst...can be obtained 'en route'....
Ah yes, and then there are the times when I was glad I wasn't relying on that when the forecast had PROB FG because the TTFs were updated with no fog, no fog, no fog, then BANG - fog! Not with a from period but here right now with viz down to X metres - no warning provided by TTF.
Fog, she be a fickle wiley foe...
