Spring will officially begin in a few days, and the Bureau of Meteorology has released its 2024 Spring Long-Range Forecast, giving us a heads up about what the weather may have in store for us this year.
The long-range forecast provides guidance on the likelihood that different parts of the country will see conditions that are warmer or cooler, or wetter and drier than average over the next 3 months.
This year it is showing an increased likelihood of warmer than average temperatures across all states and territories this spring.
Victoria is among the states with an increased chance of warmer than usual spring temperatures, according to the BOM’s forecast.
Most of Victoria is likely to have rainfall within the typical range for spring. This follows several very dry months in the west of the state.
There’s also a slightly increased chance of above average spring rainfall for a part of the state’s south-west.
So expect a lot of t-shirt weather, but don’t leave the brolly at home.
