⛈️ Hang tight for heavy rainfall! ⛈️

Large parts of the State, including Melbourne, are in for a battering today as a slow-moving storm impacts central and eastern districts from late this morning and into the afternoon.

It might seem sunny in some areas for now, but don’t be fooled by the early morning sunshine.

Around 40-70mm of rain is possible in some areas, with a serious risk of flash flooding that could cover roads and damage homes.

People out and about today are urged to drive to the conditions, allow extra travel time and stay alert for hazards such as fallen trees, downed powerlines and floating debris.

Our Victoria State Emergency Service volunteers are ready to respond when and where they are needed. Call 132 500 if you need assistance.

Stay up to date with the latest emergency information via the VicEmergency app or website emergency.vic.gov.au. ... See MoreSee Less
