There is an Extreme Fire Danger rating in the North East. Much of the rest of the state has a High Fire Danger Rating, while West and South Gippsland have a Moderate rating.

A Total Fire Ban has been declared for the North East, meaning no fires can be lit or be allowed to remain alight in the open air - this includes campfires and some BBQs. Check out what you can and can’t do during a Total Fire Ban on the CFA (Country Fire Authority) website: www.cfa.vic.gov.au/can

The response to the four major fires continues, with hundreds of CFA, Forest Fire Management Victoria, and Fire Rescue Victoria firefighters, supported by the broader emergency management sector, monitoring hot spots and containment lines, and assessing impacts.

Thunderstorms are possible across the far northern and eastern parts of the state, expected in the afternoon and evening.

There is a slight risk that storms may produce large hail and damaging winds in the far east.

For the latest emergency information, use the VicEmergency app or go to www.emergency.vic.gov.au.

Victoria continues to swelter through the longest heatwave the state has seen since 2009.

Today, temperatures will reach a maximum 40-46 degrees in the north, 30-35 degrees in the south and 24-26 degrees in Gippsland.

Temperatures are expected to peak tomorrow, with Walpeup and Hopetoun set to break records.

As Victorians enjoy the public holiday, it’s important to look after your health and the health of those around you in the heat.

Stay safe, drink plenty of water throughout the day. Whether you’re heading to a backyard BBQ, the beach, or Melbourne Park, be sure to stay sun-safe. Take breaks inside to cool down with a fan or air conditioning, and seek shade whenever possible.

Remember, it’s never safe to leave children, older people or pets unattended in vehicles, in any weather, but particularly when we’re facing days of heatwave conditions.

Increased fire activity at the Carlisle River bushfire in the Otways has produced more smoke that may be seen or smelt across Victoria.

To check the air quality in your area, visit the Environment Protection Authority Victoria website: epa.vic.gov.au/check-air-and-water-quality

Bushfire smoke from the Carlisle River fire in Otway is impacting air quality in the Central Weather district.

Melbourne, Geelong and surrounding areas may experience periods of extremely poor air quality over the coming hours.

When you see or smell smoke - first, check if there’s a fire near you with VicEmergency then follow emergency advice.

But sometimes smoke can travel a long way from bushfires and affect your health. Follow these 7 steps to keep yourself safer from smoke:

💨 minimise time outside and skip hard exercise if you’re coughing or short of breath.
💨 close windows and doors and set your air-con to recirculate
💨 use your HEPA air purifier if you have one
💨 avoid burning candles, incense, and smoking.
💨 wear a P2/N95 mask if you must go outside
💨 if it is safe consider going to a place with cleaner air + air-con (like a library or shopping centre).
💨 bring your pets and their bedding inside with clean water and food.

Most importantly there is help if you need it:
call NURSE-ON-CALL 1300 60 60 24 for advice.
call 000 if anyone has trouble breathing or chest pain/tightness.
