It’s 1pm and it’s been raining for an hour in Anglesea. Judy and I are down
\nat the Surfing Albatross and the usually quiet cafe is packed. All the people
\nwho would normally be in the courtyard are inside and some extra people have
\ncome in because there’s nothing else to do. Everyone’s go wet hair and several
\npeople have beach towels wrapped around themselves. Quite a few people have
\nwaterproof jackets on. And the surest sign that it’s cold and wet is the number
\nof toddlers in pushers. It’s an amazing contrast to yesterday which was itself
\nan amazing day. <\/p>\n

We had a mild day but all around us the state was sweltering. In Melbourne
\n(North East of here) it reached a New Year’s Eve record of 42, 46 in Horsham
\nto our West and 41 in Ballarat to our North West. At 10:30 the Bureau<\/a> issued
\nan ammended predicted maximum of 32 because the wind had turned to the south
\nbut, after a brief pause, the mercury continued to climb until the maxium
\nwas reached at 5pm<\/p>\n

After the change last night in Melbourne it dropped to 25. That’s Melbourne.
