Been a while since I've seen a sky looking the way it does right now. All hell about to break loose here at work! :afraid:
Caroline Springs, Melbourne's meteorological boredom zone.

Interesting that the city's max temp was recorded at 2:07pm, the EXACT same time as the highest wind gust of 85km/h

Reached 35.3c at Ballarat Airport today the first over 30c this spring and the warmest day since 1-3-19.
I reached 36.0c today but it dropped about 10 degrees in 15 minutes when the change came through around 1.50pm.
Wind gusted up to 51 knots (95kmh) just before 1pm.
Those thunderstorms developed about 20 klms to the east of Ballarat so no action here.
This was the 13th day this year over 35c in Ballarat the yearly average is 5 days.
Temperature now is 22.4c

Yes 40.9c equals the November record set in 1894 for Melbourne.
Also Lavertons 42.4c broke its old November record by more than 2 degrees.

Didn’t even get 1mm from that passing change. It looked so promising on the radar

Hottest on record in a Stevenson Screen. The "old" record was from a Glaisher thermometer stand which had an open bottom and typically read a bit hotter on the sunny days (and cooler on clear nights). Unfortunately the old Melbourne station moved multiple times, and started before the establishment of BoM so has some early data which doesn't match current practices.

34.0C for us in FC, then a spectacular storm with 3mm in seconds and the temperature now down to 13C with thick fog. If I woke up now, I'd be thinking another gloomy day in the Nong (the give away of course is the garden looks like a hurricane has gone through :( ).

Hope we don't get another day like today in a hurry. Just awful awful day.

BTW the point value FFDI values for today are just eye watering. Values widely popping over 100. When you think 100 used to be the top of the scale, the frequency that we go over that nowadays is a problem :( So so lucky we had all the gloomy damp weather earlier in the month.

Thanks to the dust, my car is now covered in it. The car wash businesses would be happy about it.
