Yeah Channel 7 said the temperature won't drop below 20 degrees overnight! Time to get rid of those doonas I guess lolJasmineStorm wrote:I just had a maximum of 31.9c at 6.37pm....the good old northerly. I see Melbourne also just maxed out at 32.8 at 6.54pm. Warm night ahead.
I actually had the same feeling today when i looked out the window and realised how green the grass is down here. I drove to Melbourne airport and it was a stark difference.Geoff wrote:I went and sat up at SkyHigh Mt Dandenong at lunchtime and it was quite a shock to see the distant landscape over to the west of Melbourne,the bay and the airport all looking that golden brown colour you expect during a hot dry summer, while up here in the hills we are still lush and green.
Mind you, we'll be turning a little less lush green up here soon if these next couple of systems don't deliver.
Is become noticably drier in the foot hills of the Dandenongs. Around Ferntree Gully etc the drier slopes are now starting to yellow. That typically happens about two week before the tops of the hills start to dry off. Gives us a window of about two weeks for another rain event (which we should get).I actually had the same feeling today when i looked out the window and realised how green the grass is down here.

As HB mentions....EC now thinks the inland trough/low takes a right turn and head south for Friday. The weather channel 6 hour model has become all excited this morning as well. Others still not on board.....
Yes, I can think we can safely say you will be correct I think the weather channel model went for the KABOOM scenario with a direct feed in from the monsoon trough. EC might be a little more realistic but all of them have been totally confused over a whole week of runsSean wrote:JasmineStorm wrote:Interesting day ahead...I see a few little gaps in the clouds for a couple nice temp spikes.

Well, unless: 0.300mm
Is this the proper wind change? I thought we were expecting it much later tonight here in Melbourne.JasmineStorm wrote:Geelong just dropped 9 degrees in 10 minutes.... you can see the wind change line on the BoM radar.... Melbourne might get a late spike before its hits in an hour or so. Got to 34 here before the cloud capped it.
Just a little trough to drop it to mid 20s and enough to cool down a panting dog. Northerly might even creep in again before the stronger southerlyWeatherViewer wrote:Is this the proper wind change?
