The bods are currently predicting Tuesday to be a potentially bad day.

Currently looking at Melbourne Temp 36
RH 11%
Wind N 70kph gusting to 110kph
Wind change about 5pm: W 160kph (doesn't say but I assume that's gusting)

The Fire Danger Indexes are in excess of 100 (more than 50 is considered extreme).

Keep safe everyone.

I had that warning on my pager last night, I was a bit pissed and deleted it by mistake


Looks like it could be a very busy few days. It has warned that the winds could be as strong as those we saw in April last year.

I would imagine there are some very stressed out trees out there as well after the Jan heatwave - on Black Saturday we had a lot of large branches come down around here and the gusts were probably half the 140km/h I've seen mentioned for Tuesday.

Hmmmm, where to park the car!

Just check that your insurance is up to date

Correction.

After the wind change it'll be 60kph. Which is still not good.

I know the feeling.

And throw all those Armani suits in the boot

Hmmm, and where to park the house..... we're surrounded by towering gums and I get much more nervous during high winds than fire threat to be honest.

I expect my daughters' school will be closed again.

I am off to Bendigo that day so hope they are wrong.
