18mm at Mt Macedon.
Totally over the moon with that.
YTD is around 50mm already.
So much better than last year.

Humid last few days with Dps in the mid to high teens like 17 to 19c atm almost tropical its nice out there. Wet East of Melb and West Gippy tomorrow 10-20mm easy with a few 30mms or so wet on places that dont really need it. Give it to the NW Vic, the Murray, East Gipsland, SE NSW, places that loo...

2mm overnight so now the event total is 20mm. Excellent for my garden and even better are the cold mist-bound days so the soil doesnt dry right out again.

16mm for the event up until now. So happy

Cold day here, would not have been out of place in late August.
5.9C min to 7.5C max
8mm of lovely rain.

Netatmo PWS map half an hour ago.
At 6C i'm easily the lowest on the mainland. it feels so weird after all of the recent heat.
Pretty nippy in the Adelaide Hills as well.

Just dropped to 5.9C here now.
My kind of temp for January

Nice rain and a falling thermometer. Makes a very nice change.
6.2C here now.

Just heard from my mate near Hotham Airport - he left a while ago & has learnt he lost his house to ember attack; the change was about an hour too late for him :(. The fire map I was looking at was a couple of hours out of date (understandable with things changing so fast). Not so his neighbour who...

23C here for a max and humid with a bit of hill fog and even some spits of drizzle. Hard to believe it was near 30C at 6am. So lucky in central with the timing of the front, but just awful further north and east. Lots of records. Perhaps most significant. 44.0C at Canberra broke the record of 42.8C...

My temp dropped to 15.5C at the same time that Penrith hit 48.9C.
14.5C now.
Jeez i hope we do get some rain.

4mm in the gauge. Foggy and 8C now.
So much better than yesterday.

We had about 30seconds of electrical storm, twenty drops of rain and it set off three bushfires within 2km of home.
Temp down to 24C now.
Max was 33.3C
1.1C cooler than yesterday.

So far the Max at Ballarat Airport is 39.9c and at my place in Sebastopol it reached 39.1c at 1.47pm and then dropped back to 36c when those storms where not far away, its back to 38.9c now. Those storms developed just to the east of Ballarat and are now moving away, had a few drops and that's all....

Thunder and lightning now to go with the rain. Ground is temporarily soaked so this immediate area should safe from lightning strike fires for now.

Lucky you!
No rain here but Woodend had a little.
Gusty northerly and 33C at my place, thank heavens for the high cloud today.

38 here yet only 25 in the city. That sea breeze must be working.

Yeah, crazy differences between the CBD and SE at the moment.

Sure is. 33C now high up on Mt Macedon. I'm so over this and its not even January.

36.6C max at my place at Mt Macedon.
One of the hottest days i've ever seen here.

35C at Mt Macedon, that has to be in my top three warmest days in 16years.

Yes, i wish we could go straight from November to April and skip the horrible victorian summer.
That is why i moved from Melbourne to the coldest bit of Vic that i could find.

Made it to 32.7C this afternoon and its still 28C now. I hope that change arrives soon.

Already over 30C at Mt Macedon.
That is hot for 870m asl.
