No, the weather has been hot and humid here (I live in Queensland, Australia). The temperature usually sits around 30 degrees C or 86 degrees F during this time of year.

The browning leaf tip can be caused by not enough water or humidity. Usually fungus causes a darker brown leaf tip. The lowest one or two leaf-like things on many Oncidiums, paired on each side of the pseudobulb, are more bract than leaf, and they usually turn brown and drop off long before the leaf does. The new growth often comes from the top angle where this bract meets the pseudobulb.
I don't think your plant is sick. You rarely can tell whether the plant is virused without testing it.

Thank you for the reply. Growth interruptions probably make sense, the orchid has had shrivelled pseudobulbs since I got it so it mustn't of been getting enough water where it came form.
