A warm 32°C here at Cowes down on the island with hardly any wind. Been ideal conditions for the beach. Love the fact that our beach is one of those rare north facing ones in Victoria.
Shocking night coming up, 27 for Melbourne, about 5 degrees cooler here. Might have to sleep on the foreshore tonight.

Calm and misty down here in Walkerville. Nice morning. Here’s a photo looking west towards Venus Bay from the back deck
Beautiful photo HB.
Hot here like everywhere. Cloud is tempering things a bit though. This part of the NE really wants some rain having missed out from recent successive systems.
Models suggesting ranges of 20-70mm this week for Mansfield district. Keeping optimistic
Nice day on the beach at Walkeville, but geez it warmed up quickly as you went inland. Was 24C on the beach, 29C at our place 1km inland and mid 30s a few kms inland from there 33C back home in FC.
Sticker of a night before a hot day. Cloud incoming and gusty winds will make it quite unpleasant. Change looks to be near Geelong by 3pm, and through Melbourne somewhere near 4 to 5pm. Rain sits a few hours behind the change. Looks like a good general event, with heavier falls likely along the north of the divide. Tending to think about 15mm in the Nongs and Walkerville, 25 mm if we get lucky.
Stinker of a night. Min of 27C back home in FC, while dipped to 20C here in Walkerville early am, but been warming up since and now 30C. Lots of cloud that will take the edge off things, but will still be a stinker. Change looks to be in Melbourne around 5pm give or take.
Rain looks pretty good, though patchy. Most areas should see 10mm plus. Thinking around 20mm in FC which will water the garden and fill the water tank. Storms overnight, particularly am.
Significant discrepancies in the models for the rain overnight tonight across the state ranging from 5-40 mm for Melbourne. Only time will tell I guess.

Yes I've been waiting for them to settle a bit, but there's still quite a lot of divergence. The next runs might show more consistency, but there's still uncertainty about rainfall accumulations, especially in central areas of the state. Just a case of watching the radar!
The temp only got down to 26.6c here overnight, so a very warm one. Currently 34.3c. A bit of a breeze but nothing too bad for wind at this stage.
Wind just kicked in here so downslope side around Gisborne etc. might get breezy for next little while. We are entering the sweet spot in front of the weak trough meandering across W Vic atm where winds will be at highest (though not breaking records). Over 34 here atm

Yep, the wind has picked up a fair bit in the last hour, gusting to around 30-35km/h. 35.3c now - looking forward to the cool change.
Shallow change along the west coast this morning. Still quite warm and humid in Apollo Bay atm, but not hot. Rain probably won't start until around dinner time today.
BOM is actually doing some work during the day for once. Forecast updated at 12:53pm.
Change is through here in Cowes, down to 30°C here & slowly dropping. Conditions feel somewhat humid now.
Meanwhile a max of 41°C earlier back in the western hellhole. Glad I'm not due back there until tomorrow.
