It's nice to see the +ve IOD finally dissipating. Water is boiling between Darwin and Timor at present, so something's got to give soon....

Having broken the record for the coldest December maximum, it will be remarkable if we break the heat record in the same December :o ! (Hope we don't - cold records I quite enjoy, heat records not so much!) Weird stuff happens with a +ve IOD and -ve AAO. Wed-Fri next week is likely to be three 40c+...

Well it's only made it to 14.0c for a max so far today. December Low Max record is 14.1c at the current site (27th Dec 1993). At old prison site it was 12.9c on 1st Dec 1969.

3mm today.

Who remembers the November of 2017? I loved it! Warm moist Tropical Warmth for days on end with bubbling clouds. Who would have thought it's the exact same city this year :P Oh do I ever. Especially the grand finale supercell onslaught at the end of that month. Among the nastiest weather I can ever...

BOM Outlook for summer is out. Going for a damp WA, and dry Eastern Seaboard. Hot everywhere.

Hmm i thought there was an earthquake, i didnt feel anything but certainly heard a sound like an explosion / thunder rumble that was not "normal" and it reminded me of other times i had heard it and turned out to be an earthquake..interesting Magnitude 2.1 centered between Rowville and Ferntree Gul...

18c max yesterday and a near record low temp this late into the year thus morning (just 2.5c).

November 2019 will be colder than average, despite the record high temp last week...

Cold, wet, and windy now. And just 11c. 1 mm in gauge.

Well that was a fizzer. Just a couple of drops of rain and that's it. Fail.

We're probably looking at around 10mm in the coming week. Total Fire Ban today though with a dry NWly...

Half of Bendigo is out of power now. Mostly tree branches to blame. Sky is getting a darker shade of brown. Winds gusting to 50 kts. All a bit apocalyptic now.

Ended up hitting 41.9c. So hottest November temp ever.

Change is just to our West. Winds are gusting to 80 km/h. Humidity 6%. Sky is brown.

Bad fire near Rochester now.

Cool change is expected around 3-4pm here. That grassfire near Clunes isn't good at all.

Temp has hit 41.0c...

0.1c off the November record for the current AWS site (40.2c vs 40.3c). Howling Northerly gusting to 40 kts. Filthy.

There is a 1862-1957 Nov record of 41.4c. That might even be at risk.

Already 37c and 70 km/h gusts. Lucky the grass is still a bit green around these parts.

Wow! That’ll turn some heads.. When was the last time Vic had a catastrophic rating?

There was one issued on January 11, 2010. Not sure if there's one since.

November record broken at Nullarbor 46.6c with a -23.6 dp...

That's a One Percenter. Outlaw Bikie Gang territory.

They've since had the change blast through. DP now 14c.

Yeah, not good in SA. They've deliberately turned off the power grid around Port Lincoln today as well... Gusting now to 85 km/h there. Nullabor up to 45.8c. Nov record for SA is 47.9 at Tarcoola on 30th Nov 1993.

The two stand-out heatwaves for us in November are 1997 (40.3c), and 2009 (a string of mid to high-30c days for much of that month).

OCF ensemble is suggesting 39.6c on Thursday, so it'll be a short-lived but punchy blast of heat. It's the gale force winds that worry me....
