Melbourne will reach a maximum of 41 degrees on Monday, with an extreme fire danger rating for much of the state and little relief from the heat until dinnertime.
A blistering summer forecast has prompted a total fire ban across most of Victoria, with two-thirds of the state on high alert for extreme fire danger.
“It’s the first day this summer of that sort of level of significant danger across such a large part of the state,” said Heagerty.“It’s probably the first time in a number of years where we’ve seen such high fire danger across ... anything in the west and central parts of the state.” An extreme fire danger rating has been issued for six districts: the Mallee, Wimmera, Northern Country, North Central, South West and Central. A total fire ban has been declared for all those districts, as well as West and South Gippsland.
“So it could be very hot still ... in the high thirties to low 40s around dinnertime and then that cool change does come through into the evening.”
