15.01.2022 SEVERE WEATHER The BoM have issued a severe weather warning for strong and gusty damaging northerly winds for southern parts of the State (including greater Melbourne) increasing on Saturday before contracting east. The strong northerly winds will again bring a risk of falling trees and VICSES is conscious of the risk given the sunshine and second step restrictions enabling two households to meet outside across greater metropolitan Melbourne.... VICSES key messages: Three Victorian’s were tragically killed by falling trees in the strong winds on August 27 this year Strong northerly winds will again bring a risk of falling trees for large parts of the state on Saturday Peak gusts of around 100kmp/h are likely above 400m (including the Dandenong Ranges) with gusts increasing up to 110km p/h on Saturday morning Increased moisture in the soil from recent rain can compromise tree structures, whilst trees impacted by previous recent storm events may have dislodged branches or weakened structures which only elevates the risk Monitor conditions and remain vigilant to the risk on Saturday If you are outdoors and there are strong winds, avoid walking or sitting underneath trees. Monitor conditions and try to time your exercise or visit to the park outside of the strongest winds. The safest place to be during a storm is indoors Avoid unnecessary travel. Don’t be on the road if you don’t have to particularly in leafy areas. If you must be on the roads please drive to the conditions. For emergency assistance to floods or storms, phone the SES on 132 500.
