2c this morning here. Lovely sunny afternoon for Equinox.
Looking ahead, Grand Final weekend might have some bonkers heat in NW Vic. But GFS has an absolute doozy of a cold front and Low following. Potentially a very volatile start to October. One to watch.

Re: Early spring warmth/heat: September 12-?
Mildura got to a nasty 36.5c today. 27.8c here. Yuck.
Could be a pre-equinox record for Mildura. They did get to 37.7c on Sept 23, 2017.
Looking forward to the cool change on Tuesday night.

Re: Early spring warmth/heat: September 12-?
Looks much milder on both EC and GFS than was forecast earlier. Still dry though.

Re: Becoming cold, wet and windy with a front followed by a deep low: September 4-7
Cool day here today. As for the coming week or so, that could get nasty heat wise. Possibly our first 20c+ day tomorrow since winter - about a month earlier than last Spring (which was very cold). GFS suggests a chance of 30c+ before the end of this month, and last year that didn't happen until a ve...

Re: A cool showery end to winter
Our August rainfall total is 23mm which is very poor. Lucky we had a really wet June - the crops would never have grown otherwise. The canola crops are looking nice around here, but without finishing rains there might be a lot of grain crops cut for hay this spring. Demand is starting to pick up con...

Raining atm and 12c. We seem to be on a convergence line with warm air to our North, and Melbourne enjoying warm Spring sunshine.

Might be in with a chance of a sub-10c maximum today. No rain yet, but it's not far away.

Re: Front followed by a low: August 10-15
Ended up with -3.9c. Coldest since August 2014.
Split systems can start to struggle in sub-zero temps. Same with the cheap heat-pump hot water systems the State Govt is paying for....

Re: Front followed by a low: August 10-15
A cold and overcast 12c max here today.
A bit of a wandering cold pool in the mix this Monday. GFS is still very keen about Aug 17-18th. Probably not much rain though. El-Nino-esque.
