Max of 16C here yesterday. Squeezed out a couple of high based coldies. Was a few flurries on the mountain, with better snow around Mt Field and Ben Lomond. Looks like the long dry continues. A few fronts embed in the westerlies will dump in southwest TAS, but besides that could well be more or less...

Picked up another mm overnight so nearly 2mm. Cool this morning, almost cold. Should snow on the mountain shortly. Great event for western half and the northern tier of TAS, and a small part of eastern VIC. Otherwise another dud. The SAMs dived negative which will mean low rainfall for much of south...

Complete bust here :( 1mm from two brief thundery showers. MTD is about 15mm after 15mm last month. With all the heat it’s so so dry now. Max today was a hot 31C. Not record breaking, but certainly unusual for this time of year. Sharply colder tomorrow, with heavy showers for western TAS, and maybe ...

Crazy warm night here for the second half of March. Dipped briefly to 17C but back up to 20C by 6am. It’s really humid with a DP or 16C currently. Expecting quite a lot of convection today for both VIC and TAS, but progs keep it mostly east of Melbourne and for TAS out of the southeast. Could be clo...

Hmmm... our hopes for this system seem to be fading with every model run. Synoptics and moisture look good, but for west central Vic at least, the computer says no. Seem to be in a bit of a no rainfall hole lately, with rain to the west, east, north - and even south... but not here. :( Yep. Another...

Quite a warm one yesterday, and Sunday and Monday will be warmer again. Quite a few showers and the odd storm for VIC the next two days, mostly focussed in the north. TAS activity will be a bit more sparse. Strong front then for Tuesday. Activity next few days is very patch, but Tuesday to Wednesday...

Quite like the look of the progs. Humid trough Monday, strong front Tuesday, follow up from for Wednesday and potential for a nice cool’s outbreak for about Friday. All wiggling a bit in the models, but certainly looks like our best chance in a couple of months. Meanwhile a warm weekend ahead, local...

Looks like a slow warm up ahead of a warm couple of days. Stronger front around Tuesday which looks like it might finally produce a better fall of rain. Not too confident on totals, but after weeks with very little anything would be welcome.

Good to see a bit of rain in southern parts. Not much elsewhere. Waste of a huge plume of moisture.

New thread. Should be a stronger front next week, though progs a bit jumpy on rainfall.

Looks like VIC might finally get some rain :) though looks like 1-5mm for most. Maybe the odd heavier fall the next two days. Always nice to be reminded it can rain. Down here in Tas the odd shower on the south and east coast, a bit more widespread in the northeast. Next week is showing a big patter...

Change pushing through Melbourne. Will take a while to reach the northern part of VIC. Not too sure about rain with progs sprayed for tomorrow.

Really muggy 21C max here. Still had fog in the trees at noon. Cool change with a bit of rain inbound overnight. Unfortunately a dry front for vic, but then some showers for Wednesday and Thursday. Just enjoy this heat after cold Nov Dec Jan It’s been way warmer than average. OZ just had its third h...

Rainy night here with just over 6mm. Wettest day in nearly two months :? Clearing to a muggy day but mostly fine. Last really hot one for VIC, for a week. Could be another stinker about this time next week for the mainland. Solid front for tomorrow, but unfortunately it missed the tropical moisture ...

Remarkable contrast between southern TAS and the rest of southeast Oz today. Min was 20C here and max was 21C with misty haze which eventually became a thick fog down to about 100m. Has been raining all afternoon, though mainly lightly with just over 3mm so far. Most spots have seen 2-6mm so far, th...

Looks like the 9am temps yesterday means Melbourne missed out on a new March record high minimum. Same for Hobart where the overnight 24C is nearly 3C above the 24 hour minimum record :o Suspected quite a few records will have been approached or broken around both states. This airmass is stinking ho...

Stinking hot 36C here. Suspect that’s a late season record but can’t be sure. Cooler here for tomorrow with cloud and some rain. It’s parched dry here now. Having to water the trees to keep them from turning up their heals. Fantastic beach weather with quite a bit of humidity and fairly light winds....

Near perfect 23C here today. Quite humid with a fair bit of low cloud this arvo. Warm here tomorrow ahead of a bit of rain. Looks like we could get 10-15mm here over Sunday to early Tuesday which would be very welcome. Shocker for VIC. Hottest spell at this time of year since 1940 for Melbourne. Ass...

Guess everyone’s is tired of talking about endlessly perfect weather :? Tuesday here was a perfect 20C, yesterday a perfect 25C and today, well perfect and also Friday. Not so nice for the weekend. VIC mid to high 30 pretty widespread and low 40s in the north. The change pushed through much of TAS a...

Geez it looks hot for northern Vic, and intermittently for southern parts. Should go above 38C in Mildura on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, and maybe Tuesday and even then nothing to flush it away. Suspect we are headed for lots of heat records if this pattern doesn’t break soon. Globally it’s...

Wild day on Sunday in Tas. Fires in the north, though thankfully seem to have been pulled up pretty quickly, and hurricane like winds in the exposed south with heavy shower, small hail and snow on the mountain. Was quite a dry air stream so things really got shreaded by the ranges. Max here of just ...
