Hi all, I finally got around to signing up to this forum so thought I'd make a post today.

The latest multiweek outputs from ACCESS-S out to 3 weeks still don't look too flash for us either (except for an easing back of the hot temps next week, and closer to borderline chances of the drier than normal conditions around midmonth).

The only thing we can hope for at this stage is for the odd good rain event (or high-rainfall shower or thunderstorm activity) to buck that overall trend, at least temporarily.

Thanks for that info Pete. I agree with you.

You know its dry when you have a dew point of nearly -13

Thanks whiskyzulu2 :) Yeah using that glass half full perspective, you could also say that areas like southern VIC are currently close to an eachway bet re higher/lower than normal rainfall for this month as far as ACCESS-S goes.
And like you say, there's always a chance that a decent rain event or two could temporarily buck the overall trend since brown doesn't necessarily mean no rain at all.

Our region also faces elevated fire dangers, particularly tomorrow (as per the latest fire weather warning) as winds freshen, and then significantly ramping up again towards the end of the week/early weekend as hot dry winds become very gusty with the next front sweeping across before temps cool down.

Just received this email fro EWN.

Great to see some of the excellent posters from the WZ forum appearing on here.
Things were pretty dry here today and although I started off with a Dew Point of only 8.2 degrees, it did manage to increase throughout the day.
Nothing like SkeetePetes -13 degrees!!!

Fingers crossed tomorrow is calm and boring, without any fires popping up.

There was an impressive temperature inversion today. I left home at 6:15am and in Ocean View (400m) it was a stunningly warm morning and 18.6°C. I drove down to Dayboro and it dropped to 9°C as I went down Mount Mee road. Normally there is 3 or 4°C, however today's nearly 10°C is a record for me!
