Why would you drive Blue Rag this weekend? You'd think they would have checked the forecast before leaving...

The ECMWF model showing wind gusts peaking around 160km/h on the south west coast of Victoria Wednesday and possibly into west Gippsland  These destructive winds will be caused by a deepening low pressure system in western Bass strait down to 983hPa.

I guess this is another Victorian event that can easily be blamed on Allen and the Vic Labor Govt.

Here in Central Vic we had a max gust of 18.4kph and 7.2mm of rain.
Nothing major.

34.8c in Benders. Supposed to hit 40 tomorrow.
That is a couple of days worth of the week or two of Summer we'll get.

I drove to Echuca on Thursday with van it tow. It was 43c when we arrived and stayed around 40c for the weekend.

Packed up this morning in the pouring rain with BOM warnings of a "super cell" forming and likely to cause all sorts of damage. Arrived home and unpacked again in the rain.

My dilemma is - you just never know whether to pack beer, red wine, scotch oh and clothing can be an issue too

Was thinking the same... 40 degrees with 40% chance? some of the pics going around of fuel loads in the bush arent great either.
