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 western districts which is why we're expecting "severe" fire dangers over the Mallee, Wimmera and Southwest (and those locations also have a declared
Total Fire Ban). Would re-check that in the morning, there is a slight risk central may adjust into this category.
Still looks fairly unstable for mainly central and eastern parts tomorrow, so hopefully a few showers and storms can kick off. Latest modelling suggests that if you can score a thunderstorm or two, there could be heavy falls between 5-20mm (so fingers crossed). Will all come down to timing and if one can score that elusive storm.
Unfortunately, also potential for dry lightning through western parts.
