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...

Incredible pic of the storm there stevco. Had a direct hit here. The wind was insane. We're lucky to have escaped any major damage, as I have never seen wind like that here before. 7.4 mmm from heavy, mostly sideways rain. It was all over in about half an hour. Now it's calm and 21c after hitting a ...

Sea breeze arrived here a couple of hours ago. Currently 20c after a max late this afternoon of 35c.

Had 3mm from drizzle overnight. Otherwise, it's very dry, with the landscape starting to brown off. We've had just 3.6mm since the 26th January and will likely end up with our first below average month since September. The synoptics are slow moving at the moment, with high pressure dominating across...

34.7c here today. That’s the warmest this summer.

It’s a bit of a way out, but looks like there might be another big blast of heat early next week. Still no sign of any notable rain unfortunately…

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...

Raining steadily here since late afternoon, plus a thunderstorm around midday. Just over 10mm.

Great to see the rain so widespread, and probably more so than most models predicted.

Lots of lightning and a few big thunder claps early this morning, but only 0.6mm in the gauge. We had a very strong and gusty northerly overnight as well. The road ahead is looking pretty dry, with the pattern shifting after the monsoon kicked in. Hopefully it won't be a completely dry February, alt...

Hey gang, Just a curious question about Summer this year here in Melbourne specifically. I've been watching the charts this summer and anytime there is significant heat incoming and getting close to Melbourne, it seems to dissipate and head back North on the next ACCESS chart run for example. I'm n...

27mm here. The sun is just starting to poke out from the clouds now.

Beautiful rain this morning. No wind, just heavy tropical-like rain and fog. Almost 20mm so far.

The fog has lifted but it's still cloudy and humid here after buckets of rain the past 2 days. A wet summer so far in Vic. And with a predominantly southerly and easterly focus, temps have been fairly moderate too. The highest temp so far is 31c here, which was way back near the start of December. I...

Surprised about Ballarat. I guess the rain bands for this system have not been especially mobile, with rain streaming over the same areas for hours. The heavy rain has stopped here. It's just drizzle and thick fog now, which I expect will hang around for much of the afternoon. We're on a massive 111...

It has been absolutely bucketing down over the past couple of hours. Really heavy, torrential stuff, with the rain coming up the south side of the ranges. We're now up to 96mm since midnight.
