Very different Not sure if someone can take an picture of the radar image ATM please An explanation of this would be good, normally, nearly always our weather sweeps in east to west ?
Not incredibly rare to have rain come in from the east, all it takes is a low pressure system to form in the right place. East Coast Lows (ECLs) typically bring heavy rain to Gippsland from an easterly or south-easterly direction. Very occasionally if the low moves in the right direction the rain heads further west into Melbourne. This is a little different though, but I have seen it happen before. A nice little injection of cold air from a front allowed the low to develop right over Victoria, steering rain in from the NE and over very interesting places.
