Why are you suddenly very gusty? #melbweather

In case anyone is wondering to themselves, "Just how wet would I get if I rode home at 3pm in SE melbourne", I can put you in touch with a teenager who found out

Breakfast conversation, "if it's raining or stormy, just catch the bus home" "sure .. will do"

Afternoon conversation: "My, that's a very large pile of very wet clothes, bag, helmet and gloves, did it rain on you?" "Yeah, I thought it would pass over"

Wild weather in #Melbourne today!! BoM just issued a VERY DANGEROUS THUNDERSTORM warning. And rightly so: we had a *massive* lightning strike near us that shook our entire house. I checked on the VicEmergency app and a fire has been reported for that location, with emergency services responding. Seek immediate shelter and stay safe out there folks! #MelbWeather
Just had the first and hopefully not the last light shower here at Bacchus Marsh. Change is coming. Still deliciously warm (YMMV) but there is a cooler breath of wind now and then.

I hope you're all enjoying this lovely, soaking rain. #melbweather
#MelbWeather A couple of hours ago we scored 34°C now it’s down to a more comfortable 24°.

The cool change is here #melbweather
#MelbWeather
Checked the forecast for tomorrow earlier today, 41ºC, revised down from yesterday’s prediction of 43º. The latest check has it at 44º here and 46° for Melbourne itself, not going to be very nice at all.
#MelbWeather
So we have a couple of upcoming days expecting 38º tomorrow (Saturday) and 43º on Tuesday.
I feel for my brother in Echuca: from Saturday this week they expect temperatures in excess of 35º for the following 8 days, with Tuesday topping out at 45º. In fact, the forecast predicts 6 consecutive days over 40º.
I imagine further north the humidity will be rather less than down south where I am.
