A cool spell in Melbourne is forecast to continue, potentially making it the coolest November period in almost two decades. Melbourne is well on track recording for the coolest 8 day spell in November since 1994. Today is the fifth day in a row that Melbourne's maximum temperature has not exceeded 20 degrees, and is expected to remain below 20 degrees until Friday.

 

A complex low pressure system which is sitting off the coast of Eden is moving in a south westerly direction, directing cool onshore winds towards Melbourne from Bass Strait. These winds are contributing to the period of cold weather which Melbourne has been experiencing for the past few days.

Melbourne is on track to have its hottest run of May days in over a century, but wintry days are just around the corner. It was warmer than 25 degrees on both Thursday and Friday, more than eight degrees above average, making it the hottest pair of May days since 2002. The nights have also been warm, sitting at least four degrees above the normal May minimum of 10 degrees since Thursday.

 

Locals will be pleased to hear that the mercury is set to tip 25 degrees again today, making it three days in a row. If it gets that warm, it will be the longest run of 25 degree days in May since way back in 1866.
