Today is going to be fine with a chance of hail or rain during sunshine, there is also a chance of flash flooding or drought conditions while experiencing gale force winds. Seas will be calm or choppy throughout the day but may change during the evening. Snow is expected above 100 mts but not more than 102 mts. Temps will be between -10 - 40+c. Roads will be wet during rain but dry during possible droughts.

Gday...
Spoken like a true Vic ..... and that is only before 10am .... they don't know what will happen after then ....
Anyway ... the poor Victorian forecasters have a much harder job than those blokes up in Darwin .... they just keep saying the same old thing EVERY day .....
Min overnight 22DegC with a maximum of 32DegC, the only thing they have to add or subtract is whether there the day will be wet or dry ... and for six months it will be dry .. and for six months it will be wet .... how damned easy is their job

Looks like double dutch to me, do you have to be a pilot to understand it????
Yes... but sometimes we find it hard to figure out !!
It appears to me that the weather forecasting is being sponsored by the betting agencies.
We will be able to get odds on the forecast soon.

I think I'll stick to the simple stuff, even if not accurate
