The Australian Weather Forum

Going to be some car damage looking at those radar frames :? Definitely! Radar indicating plenty of new cells with black cores developing or existing storms able to reach that severity. Should be an interesting afternoon and evening, hopefully not too much damage. Winds also will be an issue. The c...

That storm east of Macedon and west of Wallan looks severe. Doppler indicating strong winds (and maybe large hail)! Severe Thunderstorm Warning - Melbourne Area for DAMAGING WINDS, HEAVY RAINFALL and LARGE HAILSTONES For people in Inner East, Inner, Northern, Geelong and Bellarine Peninsula and part...

Reached 36.6 degrees here in Moorabbin today, slightly behind the CBDs top of 36.8 degrees. Southerly has kicked in now with a lovely refreshing cooler temperature of 29! :) More hot weather tomorrow ahead of the change. Freshening and at times locally gusty winds over the state, but particular west...

Heat returning from Monday and building each day ahead of the system later in the week, though not to the extreme heat we have seen over the last few days or so. Wednesday looks like the hottest out of the sequence with high 30's across most western and central districts, slightly cooler through the...

Saturday 26th Jan 2019 - 4:42PM AEDT A minor update to the forum today ( from 3.2.4 to 3.2.5 ) to bring it up to the latest version and fix some minor pesky bugs! There was a brief outage of the forum for around 10 minutes, but all back up and running! Please note, there are a few further minor upd...

Here's a snippet from BoM regarding yesterdays temperatures and records.

Oh deary me is that rain I can hear on the roof!? Forgot what it had sounded like! Just a light shower passing through here.

Must be a good show down there, Mick! Lightning tracker looks impressive.

What a stinking couple of days and of course the period in general! Have been totally busy with the train network I haven't had much time to post on here over the last couple of days. Managed 40 degrees exactly yesterday and today reached a sweltering 43.7 degrees at 1:30pm, which is .1 degree coole...

Evening all. Great discussion as usual. But as many have mentioned, Friday is looking particularly concerning with latest guidance continuing to indicate an early to mid afternoon wind change for central parts. 00z ECMWF indicating the change through Melbourne region between 2-4pm. GFS slightly late...

Thanks for starting this Gordon. Definitely beginning to warm up again, sadly no significant rainfall in the outlook. Friday looks to be warm to hot over southern parts and hot north of the ranges, while Saturday is a bit questionable at this stage given the timing of the milder change, the slower i...

This post is not directed at anyone in particular, please consider this as a general reminder. As I read through the forums each day, I have noticed that our breaking weather threads have become increasingly off-topic, with discussion usually headed in the direction of climate change and global war...

Definitely a scorcher of a period north of the divide, with conditions south of the divide escaping the worst except on a couple of days. A weak trough near the southwest coast will meander its way through southern parts tomorrow which is what will keep the lid on temperatures. It is a very hot air-...

Beefy indeed Jasmine! We are just just just on the edge of it here in Cheltenham. Have felt a few drops but nothing significant thus far. Taking in the sky, it appears to be slowly developing overhead, so I'll just keep waiting to find out. Wouldn't mind a nice fall before the hotter weather! EDIT (...

Hi Stevco, there doesn't appear to be any issues on our end (the times are coming up correctly). Feel free to PM with further details re the issue.

Thanks Robyn, just something a little different

Probably one of the last bands of showers to move across, currently extending over the western burbs and the bay area, will be over bayside suburbs shortly. Might chuck out the odd bolt or two, but much more stable air moving in now. What an event (for most areas - sorry to those who missed out, I k...

Found myself at the Moorabbin DFO next to the airport and just as we were walking back outside a huge cell that's been slowly creeping towards us the last hour let loose! Insane heavy rain just kept on falling with a few close bolts! The airport at 10.6mm in 10 minutes. Its cleared out now but still...

Have seen a few posts about that storm last night SE of here, replay of the radar shows a pretty impressive system. Latest radar showing plenty of further showers developing right across west central and central areas including Melbourne area. Some of them will turn thundery. Should be an interestin...
