Melbourne has sweltered through its hottest March night on record with temperatures hovering around 30 degrees Celsius for most of the night.
Northerly winds kept temperatures above 30 degrees until midnight when the mercury dipped slightly to 29C.
The official minimum overnight temperature was 27.7 degrees at 8:45am.
Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Rod Dickson said there had been a severe heatwave weather set-up over Victoria for almost a week and the overnight temperature smashed the previous record of 26.9C in 2008.

Yeah, all about Melbourne. We sweltered in 39-40 degree temperatures for 3 weeks only 3 hrs drive north, still in Victoria. But then again, it is all about Melbourne.
