What a week! First, the weather in Melbourne consisted of days upon days of endless heat, then bang! Storms, torrential rain and hail. It’s been absolutely wild out there. It’s best to stay indoors, avoid unnecessary travel, and if you are driving, please don’t drive into the floodwaters. Read some of SES’s tips for staying safe during a storm here. While you’re inside, pass the time and check out some of these tweets about the crazy Melbourne weather.

Melbourne is at that annual stage of being way too hot for too many days in a row before we go back to living in a tundra for the next 11 months.

Dear #MelbourneWeather
Are you OK, normally you give us a couple of hot days a thunderstorm and a nice cool change.
I think you should do a RAT, you might have Climate Change.😳🌦️ #ClimateEmergency— ChattyCathyPRGuysGrandma💔 (@ChattyCathyAU) January 27, 2022
