“Due to high winds, airport operations may be affected throughout the day,” a spokesperson for the airport said.

“We recommend passengers check the status of their flight with their airline before travelling to the airport and we thank passengers for their patience and understanding.”

Qantas said it was doing everything it could to avoid delays, while Virgin said some flights had been cancelled due to the winds.

In south-eastern Sydney, winds could reach as strong as 50km/h to 60km/h, with damaging gusts up to 90km/h.

Sydney will see a high of 18 degrees today and a low of 12 degrees.
