The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a severe weather warning for damaging winds averaging 60–70 km/h with peak gusts to 100 km/h across central and eastern Victoria from 9 am AEDT Tuesday; this means a high risk of falling trees and power outages for Melbourne and surrounding districts.
What are the current weather warnings?
As of 5 pm AEDT Monday, a severe weather warning for damaging winds is active for the Central, East Gippsland, South Gippsland, West and South Gippsland, and parts of the North Central and North East forecast districts. Wind gusts up to 120 km/h are possible above 1200 metres. A Severe Weather Warning remains in place for the Melbourne weather warning today area, with the most intense conditions expected between 9 am and 3 pm Tuesday. Residents should secure loose outdoor items and avoid unnecessary travel during peak gusts.
Where can I see the severe weather warning victoria map?
The Bureau of Meteorology provides an interactive map at its website showing the exact warning polygons. For a localised view, check the Weather Radar for real-time precipitation and wind patterns. Third-party services such as elders weather also display the warning zones for Victoria, though the BOM remains the authoritative source for the severe weather warning victoria map.
How long will the damaging winds last?
The strongest winds are forecast between 9 am and 3 pm AEDT Tuesday, with gusts easing gradually through the afternoon. The warning is current until 11 pm Tuesday, but residual gusty conditions may persist into Wednesday morning.
Should I expect power outages?
Yes. Wind gusts of 90–100 km/h can bring down trees and power lines. Energy companies have advised that outages are likely in exposed areas. Charge devices and have a torch ready; avoid using candles near flammable materials.
What about Melbourne city specifically?
Melbourne’s CBD and inner suburbs will see gusts of 60–80 km/h, with higher speeds in the outer east and Dandenong Ranges. The Weather Warning is valid for the entire Central district, including Melbourne. Avoid parks and unsecured construction sites.
