Re: VIC: Scorcher - December 24 2018 to January 5 2019

Topped out at an even 44 degrees here (in Seymour today which was hotter than Wangaratta). Spent a few hours out working in the sun between 1-4pm, was absolutely fine in the heat. Love it. Don't like all the negative connotations with anything to do with warm weather. My circulation starts to not wo...

Re: VIC: Scorcher - December 24 2018 to January 5 2019

Got down to 15 here, beating the forecast minimums by 6. No idea what that means for maximums but if the 44 max verifies that'll be a diurnal variation of 29 degrees. Pretty impressive!

Re: VIC: Scorcher - December 24 2018 to January 5 2019

Interstingly, we've already passed our forecast minimum for the night. Was forecast to get down to 21 (not until about 6am), but already down to about 20. Either it'll heat up with warmer air moving in overnight or we will have a doozy of a diurnal variation tomorrow.

Re: VIC: Scorcher - December 24 2018 to January 5 2019

All due respect but it seems there's some amnesia going on here. Just 5 years ago there were four days in a row above 41.6 in Melbourne city (hotter in the suburbs). Now we've got one hot day and the hysteria here is getting a bit ridiculous really. The entire Mallee had 4 days in a row above 44 in ...

Re: VIC: Scorcher - December 24 2018 to January 5 2019

Welcome back Jasmine, good to have you back on board for this year, hope you enjoyed your break :D It's a really odd heatwave, we will get the one really hot day on Friday and had the two last Thursday and Friday, but we haven't had the 4/5 days in a row of 40+ like we did from Jan 14-18 2014, that'...

Re: VIC: Scorcher - December 24 2018 to January 5 2019

Meanwhile we're about to be hit by our 6th storm today, I can't remember the last time we had as many distinctly separate storm cells in a single day. Still over 30 degrees too.

Just passed over us, we got another decent drink out of it but the heaviest stuff is sliding just to our north.

Re: VIC: Scorcher - December 24 2018 to January 5 2019

We've had 3 hits from storms so far today and about to have a 4th. Little rain in them though, I'd say 2mm or less so far. Still, better than nothing!

Re: VIC: Scorcher - December 24 2018 to January 5 2019

A huge storm building over us currently. Constant lightning and thunder but no rainfall.

Now steady rainfall without it being torrential. We reached 35 again here today for the coolest 2 days of the heatwave.

Re: VIC - Scorching week: December 24 to 31 2018

Not sure where you're seeing this to be honest. I'm seeing low-40s at most for Northern Vic mid-30s at most for Southern Vic for late next week.

Re: VIC - Scorching week: December 24 to 31 2018

In Seymour for work today and it hit 40 degrees here. I was out in it twice for a while today and must say it didn't seem that hot at all with the extra cloud cover.

Re: Scorching week: December 24 to 31

There's now 5 40+ days forecast for us here in Wangaratta on the OCF. For me, a heat lover, I can't wait, but I can understand others' worry about the impending heat. It feels like January 2014 was the last time we had a hot run like this though?

Re: Major upper and surface lows 12–16 Dec

That cell this morning beat me by 2 hours. I arrived in Seymour at 9am and it hit at 7am, how do you think I feel? :P maybe I should endlessly whine about it :roll:

Re: Major upper and surface lows 12–16 Dec

Another 13mm here since 9am, we are (officially) sitting on just over 70mm for the event.. amazing! PS the One Mile Creek has now broken its banks cutting off the walking track, and many customers reported upwards of 60mm in the south side of town so I think locally we're on about 80mm now. Pretty a...

Re: Major upper and surface lows 12–16 Dec

Up to 105mm on the West side of Wangaratta, one farmer at work reported 210mm at Boralma. Things are mayhem up here and the creeks are almost flooded.

Re: Major upper and surface lows 12–16 Dec

Bit patchy, but some big falls adding up. Few totals around 50mm already in the lower northeast focused around Wangaratta. Eastern burbs on the backside of the Dandenongs also quite well with totals racing towards 20mm. That area near Melton is also getting hammered. Totals in the 20-30mm showing u...

Re: Major upper and surface lows 12–16 Dec

They reckon we've had 44mm now. I can almost guarantee we aren't on that much. Although the gauge by a Wunderground user here in town has 54mm and one just to the south has recorded 62mm, wow that's incredible if true! What a great start to the system, and will really green things up, it's parched a...
