Severe cold snap brings bleak weather to Victoria Matt Pearce, Monday June 18, 2007 - 16:18 EST
Bleak weather has descended on Victoria today as a severe cold snap moves up from the south across the state, according to weatherzone.com.au. The highest temperature in the state today was just 13 degrees at Mildura.
Most of the state was still below 10 degrees at midday, with Melbourne sitting on a very chilly 9.7. Melbourne ended up having a top of 11.9, its coldest day since August last year.
Snow has been reported down to around 900 metres through the day, but is likely to fall as low as 700 metres tonight.
“Very cold southerly winds have developed across Victoria today, resulting in well-below-average temperatures. Although there is a definite chill in the air, there is not much moisture around so we haven’t seen any particularly heavy showers as yet,” weatherzone.com.au meteorologist Matt Pearce said.
“It is likely to remain very cold across the state tomorrow, with most Melbourne suburbs expecting a top once again of just 12 degrees. However, slightly milder weather will return by mid-week as a high pressure system moves in from the west.”
In addition to the very low temperatures, the winds have been picking up along the coast. Cape Nelson, on the west coast, had a 70km/hr southerly gust at 12:30pm.
“There is the chance of some small hail and thunder at times along the coast through this evening, but from tomorrow onwards, the focus of most of the showers will shift to the far east,” Pearce said.
And the next two days weather from Stormchasers.
