Geelong residents should prepare for damaging winds, heavy rainfall and possible flash flooding as a severe weather warning is active across the region, with the worst conditions expected to develop this afternoon and continue overnight.
What areas are covered by the severe weather warning for Geelong?
The warning extends from Geelong itself, across the Bellarine Peninsula and inland towards the You Yangs, taking in Surf Coast towns like Torquay and Anglesea. The Bureau of Meteorology has also flagged risks for the western suburbs of Melbourne, making this a broad alert for central and southern Victoria.
How will this affect Geelong’s weather today?
Expect northwesterly winds averaging 50–65 km/h with gusts up to 100 km/h near the coast, particularly around Corio Bay and the Barwon River mouth. Rain totals of 30–50 millimetres are likely in the Geelong area, with heavier falls possible in the Otway Ranges to the south. The Bureau warns of potential localised flooding in low-lying parts of Newtown, Belmont and Grovedale, along with hazardous surf conditions for swimmers and boaters. This system is part of a broader severe weather warning affecting much of Victoria, and residents should monitor the weather radar for real-time updates.
Is this a super storm warning for QLD today?
No — this warning is specific to Victoria. For the latest super storm warning for QLD today, check our Australia weather hub for separate Queensland updates.
Is there a storm warning for Melbourne today?
Yes — the same system extends into Melbourne’s western suburbs. A separate storm warning for Melbourne today is active, with damaging winds and heavy rain expected through the CBD and inner north.
Will the severe weather warning for Victoria tomorrow be extended?
Current models suggest the trough will move east overnight, so a severe weather warning for Victoria tomorrow is possible for eastern districts, but Geelong should see conditions ease by Friday morning.
