Squeezed between two lots of storms here in Cheltenham. Have heard plenty of thunder and the wind is very gusty. Plenty of branches flying around thanks to this current dry spell. A few drops on the roof, but missing most currently. Amazing looking cells out there!

Development to the northwest of Melbourne and over the bay looking nasty ... again!

EDIT: Just had a crack and a bang! Saw the lightning this time. Winds at Moorabbin Airport just up the road gusted to 94km/h! :P

Where about is this? Good to add your location Chris.

Bit of a fizzer the first cell in the Dandenongs. Looked good on radar but not much in gauges. Locally 0.5 to about 3mm in the southern Dandenongs. 1mm at home so far :(

Few more bands inbound so should improve on that (please...).

City cell just on 5pm was impressive. Felt far to hot to be raining... wierd stuff :o

That cell just west of the city is a dumper. Also robbing the radar beam so hard to know whats going on away from it :o Has a huge shelf cloud that looks like something of Independence Day

Once AGAIN we are just missing out by a whisker as that storm slips away towards the south. :x

Enjoying the light show though. Witnessed one massive bolt towards Sunbury while driving home. :D

WWHHOOOOOOAAAA!!!!!!! That was I_N_T_E_N_S_E.

Strong lightning, very strong thunder, and VERY strong winds. Bit of a microburst dumped on us here.

I have the video, and will let you know the youtube link soon.

Perhaps Sean got it stronger than I, going by the radar purely?

15mm of rain here in 10 minutes, with a rain rate of 185mm/h at one stage.

103km/h wind gust on the kestrel, but 66km/h gust on the Davis.

Best storm I have witnessed in probably 15 years, and the best here in cranbourne since i moved in 4 years ago.

And i thought I was gonna miss out...

Few huge gusts, but I'm relatively sheltered on all sides. But the rain was a complete whiteout. FNQ type stuff.

Not as frustrating as not being able to use Evap due to smoke detectors going off

Big storm here between 5.15pm and 5.45pm very lightning active with a few flangs.
Had 12mm's in 30 mins. Laverton got more than 20mm's. Round 2 coming through now
but not as strong as Round 1.

Had a short burst of heavy rain, but haven't seen any significant falls like some other places. We had multiple cells pass close by, just continuous thunder and very frequent lightning, including a few flangs also! Was awesome, one of the most lightning active storms I've seen in a very long while. :P

Plenty of reports of local damage around the burbs, including building damage as seen on Nine News. Some amazing footage of structure of this system also coming through, brilliant shot Wolfcat as usual :D

YouTube link is below for my video. More dramatic in real life i think. Best part is from about 30 seconds into it. The full video showing the structure of the storm is too long.

You can copy this link into your YouTube app. should be named MELBOURNE WEATHER AFTER 40 DEGREE DAY.

13mm here, a little violent at times. Trough is still west of Geelong and Ballarat ;)

Nice Video Stevco, loved the crack at 1 min 37 sec ;)

5.40pm water vapour image caught the cloud tops north of the city near Lancefield exploding to near -70c :) Doppler showed what seems a like a mesocyclone attempting to rotate.

NW of Bendigo - just out of Serpentine. Had another shower since and it’s still rumbling. Amazing to see water sitting on the bare paddocks up here.
