DESKTOP 2925 - WEATHER CHANGE

We've been having some weird weather lately, with unseasonable warmish spells, quick changes from dry to wet and all sorts of precipitation from showers, to rain, to hail, to snow up in the mountains. Never a dull moment!

DESKTOP 2332 - SMOKY SKY

Thick haze descended on Melbourne today, with a north-easterly wind carrying smoke from the fatal NSW bushfires into our city, a distance of hundreds of kilometres. The temperature soared to a maximum of 45˚C making for apocalyptic scenery and a terrible day to have to be outdoors... This post is part of the Skywatch Friday meme.

DESKTOP 2323 - WEATHER

Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria and second largest city in Australia, has a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen climate classification Cfb) and is well known for its changeable weather conditions. This is mainly due to Melbourne's geographical location. This temperature differential is most pronounced in the spring and summer months and can cause strong cold fronts to form. These cold fronts can be responsible for all sorts of severe weather from gales to severe thunderstorms and hail, abrupt temperature drops, and heavy rain. In late Winter and early spring we do get a lot of weather and it's quite dramatic to see the sky darkening with clouds as the change moves in.

In the last few weeks we have experienced a great deal of weather and some quite spectacular changes that have come through and affected the city. I'm just grateful that we have not had the extreme heat and drought that have caused the massive bushfires that have been burning for months now in the Northeast coast.

DESKTOP 2222 - RAIN

We waved goodbye to Winter and welcomed Spring with mixed weather offerings of rain and sunshine. Here rain falls in Southbank but fails to hide the ugly high rise apartments...

DESKTOP 1836 - WINDY

We are experiencing several weeks with intermittent strong winds and relatively little rain lately. A great deal of damage has been done through this period with trees uprooted, roofs and fencing damaged, some walls collapsing and so on. Today we had a fatality with a tree falling on a car and killing the driver, a man in his early 30s. Gusts of wind can reach speeds of 100 km/hr...
