Victoria: Heatwave November 7th-12th 2009

from bom website:

Forecast for Sunday

Becoming cloudy. The chance of thunderstorms in the late afternoon and evening.

Was up in Hopetoun today- felt hotter today than the last couple of days.

Spoke to someone who told me the weather station is in a valley and often records higher temps than actual in summer and lower temps in winter than what it would be were it located in town. Interesting I suppose. Either way it was right on the edge of the high cloud band- but exceptionally hot.

The locals tell me that Ouyen is actually hotter.

So dry after all the rain they had here. Amazing what a month can do in terms of weather!

Sydney's getting a nice dumping from that front that was dry when it past Victoria
