Couple of records yesterday at odds spots including Frankston. Nothing too significant for VIC, but heaps of records back in WA where some stations have broken their hottest night or day temps multiple times in the month. Melbourne looks to have equaled it’s warmest September on record and had its driest on record. Temp record will come down to the second decimal place if my maths is correct
Bonkers how warm and dry it’s been in parts of VIC the past few months.
Couple more days of this weather to come, then finally a proper change. System looks wet for southeast NSW and the eastern third of VIC. Melbourne sits in the strong gradient zone, so could land anywhere in the 10 to 80mm range. Latest EC has totals peaking around 150 to 200mm in the hills north of Bairnsdale. Would think a bit of flooding with that, though the very dry lead in would probably take the edge off. Lot depends on intensity. Tides are pretty low this week so won’t be much in the way of storm surges.
System looks a bust here for TAS. Typically showery stuff our west and easterlies might get the far northeast corner, but in between not much. Progs could always change… have fingers crossed that we sneak some decent.
