It sure feels like summer this morning. The temp reached 21.5c overnight and currently just under 20c now.

Surprisingly, the wind wasn't too bad here, unlike the previous night. Still blustery, but it looks like it has been windier across Melbourne than here, which is rare with a northerly.

Gale force winds again here overnight. This round was actually worse than Monday's event, and actually felt like a cyclone at times. Only 0.8mm in the gauge. Expecting the wind to reduce a bit today before firing back up again tonight, and hoping that we do a bit better for rainfall on the next fron...

Managed to get through relatively unscathed here. But geez, it was wild, and still gusting strongly. We lost power twice through the night, but it's back on now. The front came through with a bang too, around 3am. Very heavy rain, beating like crazy on the windows with the wind. Managed to get 7mm f...

Terrible winds here too - my least favourite weather (not that I get to choose it...). Suspect I'm not alone! Definitely my least favourite too. It's probably the only downside to living on the ranges, which otherwise has amazing seasonal weather. Managed 1mm here overnight following another round ...

Crazy wind here the past couple of days, and it's all set to fire up again tonight and then next week too. Thankfully, we have only had minor damage, nothing too major. Not sure how other people in the area have fared, but I'd imagine there was some larger damage in places given the strength of the ...

Great to see the storm reports. We got 23mm here yesterday from some direct hits, including loads of lightning, hail, and heavy rain. With last week’s rain, we’ve jumped up to 45mm for the month. We’ll likely still end up below average, but at least it’s not as dire. Nice day today, calm with sunny ...

Struck it lucky here last night with a heavy period of rain. Didn't detect any thunder or lightning but managed 10mm. An area of light to moderate rain is currently making its way through here and across to Melbourne. It has produced 2mm here so far. Still a long way to go to make up the August rain...

Where has winter gone? We've had some very nice sunny days, but it's kind of crazy for the time of year, especially this early in August. We've been around the 18-20c mark all week and currently close to 15c now, heading for another warm one today. I've even had hay fever all week, something I've ne...

Very windy here overnight and this morning. So far it's shaping up to be a dry August, unless we get a big event towards the end of the month. We haven't had any rain at all so far. What a strange year. The rainfall has been especially inconsistent, from a couple of extremely wet months interspersed...

Had 12mm here over the weekend and yesterday. That finishes July with 82mm. Not a bad result, especially with systems having generally favoured west and north facing areas, as is typical during a negative SAM. We had cloud cover throughout the night, so no frost here but the cloud has mostly cleared...

Yes, we're very much rain shadowed here this morning. Not at all surprising given the set up. One only needs to go several kilometres north and it's a different story. It was a similar situation on the weekend, with only 6mm recorded here - lots of very strong wind but little rain. We're still about...

20mm here over the past 24 hours. Nowhere near as much as eastern areas, but a decent drop nonetheless. The wind has also been a feature, especially yesterday and overnight, with big gusts and sideways rain at times.

Currently fog and a mild 9c. Should see some showers and/or drizzle at times today.

5c here this morning. Picked up about 5mm yesterday, bringing the month to 35mm, so tracking much better than the previous couple of months. An interesting week ahead, with plenty of activity. Looks like east central and coastal areas will do best in Vic, especially today and Monday with a southwest...

19mm here on Tuesday, which is our best 24 hour fall since April. Shows just how dry things have been in recent months. Might get a couple more mm later today depending on rain shadowing and whether the front has much strength left.

A foggy, drizzly morning here. We managed to get 10mm over the weekend, most of which fell after 9am yesterday. That brought June's total to a pitiful 20mm and July starts with 6mm. So a very dry June here and I kind of suspect that July might turn out to be on the dry side too, especially with a lo...

Just windy and mostly dry here. The odd bits of rain have amounted to about 1mm over the past week and a measly 16mm for the month. This could end up being my driest June here, which is normally a reliably wet month. Hoping we can squeeze just a little more before the end of the month, but I have to...

Cloud cover, and probably an inversion, capped the temp to 4.5c here last night. Heard some rain on the roof during the night but it wasn't enough to register in the gauge. Looks like northern and western Vic will get a bit today. The pattern has been slow and sluggish for months now, which seems pr...

-1.1c here this morning, with a heavy frost. It's not often we get this cold.

Melb CBD got down to 1.4c. Haven't checked but it's probably quite a while since it was last that cold.

Blustery overnight with the front coming through. A further 4.2mm here. Quite a good stream of showers through Melbourne this morning.

Manage to scrape 4.4mm here today with a brief, but fairly heavy rain band. Thankfully the wind has now died down. Puts us on 9.6mm for the month, so possibly shaping up as another dry month unless something big changes late in the month.
