42 on Friday - thats abominable weather for fires...

Temperatures are expected to climb above 40 degrees on Friday as the state heads into the summer peak.

Following a balmy start to 2019, Melbourne is forecast to see the mercury rise on Thursday to 28 degrees before climbing to an expected 42 degrees on Friday.

Senior forecaster Rod Dickson said north-westerly winds were dragging heat from inland, causing a day of extreme heat.

"The maximum temperature depends on the time of the cool southerly change," Mr Dickson said.

Not just the temp, 50km/h northerly is going to cause trouble
