Yeah it's hard to put much faith in the models next week, especially when we are still quite a few days away and they're jumping all over the place. One thing to note, but still can't be all that confident, is that GFS is at least showing more activity this time. In the past couple of months, it has...

A bit of drizzle this morning, but nothing meaningful.
We really need some rain now. But unfortunately it's still looking dry for the period ahead. If we end up with only 3mm for March, which seems likely, that would make it the driest month I have ever experienced living here.

Yeah it's not looking promising for this week. Maybe parts of the north/north east of Vic might also get a bit. West central and further west is looking mostly dry now. Model runs seem highly volatile at the moment, which is never a great sign. This has been an extreme couple of months. We've had a ...

19c and dark and cloudy this morning.
GFS is still not interested in much rain this week in Vic, except maybe east Gippsland. Other models are a bit over the place, but have generally downgraded overall. Might be something better in a week's time, but it's a long way out.

Glad you got some rain HB. A bit of cloud around today, which feels like it's taking the edge off it a bit, although it's still 30c here at the moment after an overnight low of 21c. Hopefully we'll still see some rain on Wednesday/Thursday, but there is a wide divergence between models. In the lates...

24.9c was the minimum here. I'd have to go back through my records, but I reckon it would have been many years since last having an overnight minimum that high, if at all. For the coming week, there's still a fair bit of movement on the models. At this stage, rainfall totals are looking fairly modes...

A stinker for March! 39c here with a reasonably highish dew point too. AC will be on all night tonight.
Yep, the aircon will be on all night here too. It’s midnight, and still a crazy 29c…

As forecast by non-BoM organisations months ago. As I said many posts ago, March is the turning point. La Nina is already forming. Unsure why BoM has gone with a drier than normal 3 months ahead for the whole of Australia. Seems to be their "go-to" forecast these days. It'll just put them...

A very concerning few days ahead with regard to fire potential. Hope everyone stays safe. It's already pushing 30c here this morning. Not too windy at the moment, but will likely strengthen as the day goes on. What a summer. Over the past 6 weeks, we've had just 14mm. During the 6 weeks prior to tha...

A late max of 33.4c here yesterday, once the cloud cleared. We had a short spell of spitty rain around midday but not enough to register in the gauge. Cool change arrived just after midnight but it still took several hours to take effect. We're only on about 12mm for the month. Very much below avera...

A terrible situation with the bushfire near Beaufort, which has already destroyed homes and farms. It would have been an awful, stressful night for people out that way. Hopefully it will get under control today. Unfortunately, it looks like we are in for a repeat next week, especially Wednesday, wit...

Not too bad of a morning. Hot but not too windy. Unfortunately, the wind has really picked up this afternoon with a very gusty northerly and a current temp of 33c. Luckily it's just one day of it and the ground and landscape still has moisture and greenery, so it won't be anything too destructive. I...

Not much to report at the moment, as this dry spell continues. Hot today and tomorrow. Not looking forward to the wind furnace tomorrow, with hot and gusty winds but thankfully it's only one day. Looking ahead, there's not too much to get excited about. Parts of Tas may do OK following the front on ...

Looks like a period of uneventful weather ahead, at least for the next 7 to 10 days. A very warm to hot weekend coming up, but otherwise fairly mild to warm for the rest of the time. At this stage, it seems there's very little if any rain on the horizon so a mostly dry period ahead, apart from weste...
