Pack away your bathers and get your umbrellas ready – summer is set to be rung in with a fierce rainstorm.

As Melbourne breaks records on Wednesday for warm spring weather, we are being asked to brace ourselves for "extreme" rain to hit on Friday.

 
The city is forecast to be lashed with more than its monthly December rainfall average in just the first two days of summer.

Meanwhile, some areas of the state are expected to cop up to 250 millimetres. 

"It's certainly going to be a very wet start to summer," Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Richard Carlyon said.

The bureau will release a severe weather warning Wednesday afternoon regarding the slow-moving trough.

Northern Victoria will bear the brunt, with up to 200 millimetres expected to fall in areas. The North-Eastern ranges is likely cop up to 250 millimetres.

Wish they were wrong at the start of our last Fraser trip last month lol they said it would be 150mm plus each day for three days and they were spot on hahahaha we were hoping they were being their usual self and holding a finger in the air sniffing the air all for moisture all whilst whipping the donkey to spin the radar but clearly their technology got it right that time lol.

Speewa, I hope the delivery of the PDFP is better than in the past.  I still remember the issues with your export to the USA.
