32C, strong, gusty wind NE - NW, 25% RH.

A fire would move under these conditions.

Got to 28C here, the change has us now on a showery 14C!

Wow! What a cold front that was! Swirly NW swung to a roaring, swirling SW, 1km visibility through dust, temp dropping to 13C in a few minutes. Light showers since but so far only 0.5mm registered.

Gee, I enjoyed watching (and listening to) that front!

2.6mm today, sun out now temp currently 13

3mm and a massive temp drop down to 13C experienced here - cold and breezy atm, baro still down at 995 hPa so the wind chimes will earn their dough tonight.

Finished (I think we're finished) with 7.6mm. Yeah, P, a massive temp drop.

...and a paltry 21.5C max here today, ...with cold SW wind. Feels like May, not Feb!

Look at all the available models ... a special prize to anyone who can see any reliable promise of significant rain in Vic in the next two weeks.

Took a lot of shopping to come up with this one TB:

Hopefully the WZ model beats all the worlds supercomputers!

Well, P, if that's right I doubt anyone will be knockin' it back. But, ya know ...

Oh, by the way, ask for your prize at the bar of the Maffra Golf Club. Tell 'em TB said you can one on him.

Two hot air balloons crash land in Melbourne , that's becasue they don't check weather as trough line across Victoria have two wind direction between North and South.

Dry, sunny, stiff SE/E wind, 25C 47%RH ... that is ... pleasant and boring.

Ditto TB - but 27C (didnt feel like that in the wind at golf) here.

Absolutely choking with bushfire smoke here in Maffra, as bad as a thick fog, kept us to 14.5C so far this morning.

That's bad, P. Smoke here but nowhere like what you're experiencing.

Yep TB, dead calm here and hasnt improved, must be an inversion. My wife reported a lot of ventolin sales in Maffra so far today.

Hope Samboz hasnt been run over by a bulldozer up there today!

Howdy P, home tonight- briefly, Nth of Licola today.

Erica yesterday, also been at Walhalla & Icy Creek this month.

Been interesting, will be "somewhere" tomorrow as a lot
of resources are moved to meet anticipated problems.

Been largely lucky with the wind, a strong N/W' er would play
merry hell!

Must have the camera handy more often, will post some pics when not so busy.

Typical easterly rain conditions here in Maffra now, no rain showing on radar, have 7.5mm in the gauge already in thick easterly drizzle, baro on 1016 hPa as it often is when conditions allow easterly rain in these parts.

Will have to be steady as she goes drive up to Narooma today.

Heard that Maffra got 10mm today, Merimbula 70mm last night, Narooma 30mm last night. Calm 26C here at Narooma atm.
