cool change breezed (very strong winds for 10 or so mins) through here about 5.30 dropped from 42 to 36 in a few mins and now down to 30 at 8.

Third day in a row above 37 here. Don't laugh North of the divide folk, nearly at 600m here,

Was 37.8 by midday after a low of 16.7. With squally winds developing this afternoon dropped to 20.5 by late arvo but along with several places who had early wind shift the temp has been climbing since about 6pm. Currently 23.8 DP 9.7 and dead calm, some virga around also.

Ukmet has decent rain for here in the early hours. Was the only model that had this activity of sorts today a few days out so fingers crossed

Had a top of 45.9, here yesterday. 45 expected today.

We actually got to 35.5C during a mid-arvo lull in the southeasterly winds.

overcast, 28C, 47%RH, calm, atm

Dare say any breaking of the cloud cover will lead to rapid heating and later convective activity.

Come on SW cool breeze jump into Northern Country as hard sleep 3 days, 3 days of 40c is enough.

Overcast day, with several periods of virga touching the ground, 32.5C with only a trace of mud at the bottom of the rain gauge. Very muggy, another uncomfortable night looming here.

The calm conditions would have been appreciated by the firey's who are working on multiple fire starts in Vic's SE ranges after yesterdays dry lighting moved through.

I’m currently at twofold bay near eden nsw, massive
Storm just glanced us and would have smacked Merimbula
I’d reckon

Looks like it’s been trying to rain down through
The valley p?

33.6 for a max after a low of 19.1 also managed 0.8mm this morning. Currently 27.5/14.2

How are people on this forum seeing next week? ACCESS-G seems to suggest a heap more heat.

42.2 degree top, yesterday. 40 degrees, expected today.

Just up on Nth foothills Dooga. Storms up around Eden/Merimbula are magic this time of the year, provided they dont leave you stranded from bushfire road closures

Had the odd storm along the foothills to our nth overnight, and probably about 1mm from the sth edge of it all down here. Very muggy and overcast 25C here atm, ....hoping for an arvo storm.

A period of clear sky coupled with no breeze has seen temp soar to 36C here.

....in our own "heat bubble", as Sale 33C, Mt Moornapa 27C and Traralgon 31C.

Should boost our chances for a storm over coming hours I hope.

....and did end up with a nice little 30 minute pair of storms that back-built from a light storm line grazing us from the NW just now. Auto gauge sitting on 11mm so a handy 10mm from it (about a mm from early morning storms). Temp now back to 22.5C.

Grass around the Maffra area will much appreciate this!

Oh Peteos grass dry out out fast by photo.

The surface is too warm up in Bendigo of 32.2c at 3pm few rain drops as virga is bad thing.

Last night was very warm of 25.1c at 4am.

Victoria going have little break with cool breeze tonight then ugly heatwave 4days next week then with gusty winds quick strong cool change by Friday 25th

Big heavy drops of rain and brief period of heavy rain brought days' total (so far) to 5.5mm. Current: 25C 88%RH calm. Can hear furniture being moved around in the clouds above.

Bout to get smacked here at towfold bay near
Eden!! Plenty of thunder and lightning!

11mm p that’s handy and same with your
5mm tb 👍 settles the dust for a couple of
Days.

Hearing reports back at home of only
A mm or two over the last couple of days

41.6 today, and a nippy 35 predicted for tomorrow.

Get out those mittens, beanies and scarves Blackacubra.
