While Melbourne's current official forecast has the city heading for its warmest day in 4 months with 21 degrees, the temperature is really struggling to get there. The city is stuck under a band of thick cloud which is blocking the sun's radiation and stopping the temperature from rising. As a result, the current temperature just before lunchtime is a shivering 12.5 degrees! Once the cloud clears, sunny skies will ensure that the temperature rises rapidly. The reason for this cloud hanging around is what is known as an "inversion." Basically, temperature decreases with altitude but, on some occasions, temperature increases with height leading to this inversion that traps the cloud. Hopefully, the inversion will break up very soon bringing sunnier and warmer weather just in time for the Grand Final parade in Melbourne's CBD this afternoon!
Now for the AFL Grand Final weather... a weak cold front is crossing the southeast tomorrow bringing isolated showers across southern Victoria tomorrow afternoon. While the game should be mostly dry, there's a chance that we'll get a light and brief shower or two during the game so pack the poncho just in case!
