Anticyclonic gloom takes hold in Victoria

The Bureau of Metreology has said that Victoria is in the grip of anticyclonic gloom. It means that the pressure system over waters of the Great Australian Bight has led to the anticlockwise rotation of the wind. Generally, the anticyclone condition brought lighter winds and more settled conditions.

Meanwhile, some parts of the country will experience high temperature within the week. Perth and Adelaide will have near 40C as the week progresses. Perth will record 39C on Tuesday.

“The hot weather in Perth is due to a high pressure system sitting in the Great Australian Bight bringing hot winds to the city from inland parts of the state. West and north easterly winds today and tomorrow and sea breezes will stop it getting too hot but it’s still going to be in the high 30," bureau forecaster James Ashley told news.com.au.
