Back to cooler in the south for a few days, but short lived in the north. Mildura will be back in the mid 30s in a day or so.
Part b looks to be more focussed on western and northwestern areas with them high stubbornly parked well south and not budging. Further south is for for us as the fetch of northerlies tends to be shorter. Spike day around Friday which could be as hot or hotter than yesterday. Be horrible in places like Ceduna which are sat in the perfectly bad spot for the next round
Apparently temp yesterday was the first 40C after Valentine’s Day since 1998 in Melbourne. So many statistics
Lot of them do really reflect the very unusual three year and quite consistently wet La Niña. La Niña tend to increase minima and reduce hot maxima and that’s what we’ve seen.
Not much rain. TAS will get storms today and a weak band of rain, and more showers Monday. Mainland looks very sparse.
Btw that black core storm went over a couple of amateur stations in south Gippsland. One station near Boolara scored 35mm and temperature drop of 20C. Must have been most exciting. Wonder if it had hail?
