35.5C at 12:30am! WOW!!
Winds have turned to northerly and we have a thick blanket of cloud trapping the heat, so there is a very good chance it won't go below 30C tonight, and we might break the record for the highest overnight low.
Thursday night into Friday looks like it could be the most epic of hot nights though, with an approaching cold front compressing all the heat ahead of it and 850hpa temps overnight are progged to be about 2C hotter than tonight.
Radar shows a thin band of light rain between Melbourne and the airport, but apparently this is a lightning active storm according to the lightning tracker.
