Melbourne is basking is spring-warmth today, ahead of a 10°C temperature drop tomorrow.
The cities maximum is forecast to be 32°C on Tuesday afternoon, making it Melbourne’s warmest day in seven months and the first time the mercury has reached 30°C since March 18.
Temps will also top 30°C across much of Victoria, with a state high of 36°C expected at Mildura, as a relatively short-lasting tongue of warm air pushes across the state ahead of an approaching cold front.
A southerly change is forecast to reach Melbourne around 4 to 6pm local tonight, bringing some relief to the city in the evening.
There’s not a whole lot of bite to that front. As Wednesday’s synoptic chart shows, the front will barely clip southern Victoria – although it will score a direct hit on Tasmania where a little midweek snow can be expected at the highest elevations.
But winds will still swing around to a southerly aspect and push much cooler air onto the mainland, especially later in the working week.
Melbourne maximums will dip to 21°C on Wednesday as a few mostly light showers sweep through, then to a much cooler 16°C and 17°C on Thursday and Friday respectively.
