Very hot start to February: Feb 1-

I thought there would of been some method for recording it. Thanks for the clarification. I mean you couldn't have someone checking it every 10 mins all year 😂

Thankfully the cool change has come through. There was a few spits of rain and some thunder.

39 and rising at viewbank.

I've been wondering.. how often were temperatures checked when stations were manned, and during early automation of stations?

Since daily maximums can be recorded in between the 10 minute updates from stations and heat can spike for a minute or so, is more recent data in ...

I looked out my west facing window overnight and I think most of the lightning was to the south of epping or more towards bundora. We got 6mm

I hope this hits epping. Some of it seems to be going in an east / NE direction?

There must be a lot of potential for heavy rain in the tropics at the moment in some spots, i wonder if its related? Bintulu in Malaysian Borneo got 800mm in 48 hours recently, a site in the city has that much in 24 hours but I'm doubting its accuracy

Becoming stinking hot ahead of a gusty change: January 25-27

The viewbank site recorded a maximum of 40.8 when you look at the source which is recorded every 10 minutes the maximum is 40.3

Any reason behind this? Its not the first time I've seen it.

Wasn't expecting a 37 maximum at the viewbank site today.

33 Max in melbourne city. Quite a big difference. Usually it's 2 degrees

Seems like most of it was to the south of epping. Heard thunder now and again and had power drop for a second plus some heavy rain and lighter rain afterwards.

Didn't see anything out of my window

Had rain in Epping yesterday. Just enough to wet the pavement. Looked like it started getting heavy 1km away. Not sure why a few KM south and east seem to get hit more.

Not sure if we'll get much from what's coming towards us

Interesting how that storm from the SW suburbs is heading in a NE direction. Don't see that often.

I'm hoping it hits Epping and doesn't vanish before it hits here.

Warming up for a hot week: 11 December -

Weatherzone says a 18.7 dewpoint and 40.7 degrees at 5pm today

If this comes through surely that has to be a record dewpoint in the Melbourne metropolitan area for 40+.

Looks like melbourne airport has dewpoints around 12 degrees at that time. I wonder why.

Deep low with storms, gales and heavy rain: Nov 30-

Me not being in Epping seems to be a magnet for storms lately.

Off to the city for a work event ..
