It’s going to be a bit wet tomorrow! Take care! For our patients we are happy to switch your appointment to Telehealth so you don’t need to drive in the rain.

Widespread thunderstorms are forecast across Victoria throughout Tuesday, 24 February, including the chance of localised, severe thunderstorms developing with the capacity to cause flash flooding in some areas.
Now is the time to prepare your property for a significant rainfall event by clearing gutters, downpipes and drains and parking vehicles undercover or away from trees where possible.
Community members should also remain alert to dangerous road conditions if driving and remember to never drive through floodwater. Stay inside if conditions outside appear dangerous.
To learn more about how to prepare for potential flooding, visit www.ses.vic.gov.au/plan-and-stay-safe/emergencies/flood.

There’s currently a fire in Kilsyth South. Stay informed and read the warnings.

26/01/2026

Important information about tomorrow. Leave early.

🚨 IMPORTANT INFORMATION 🚨

Good afternoon Montrose.

The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a Fire Weather Warning for the CENTRAL District today at 4:06pm.
Tomorrow is also a STATE-WIDE Total Fire Ban.

With forecast temperatures in the mid-40s, gusty north to north-westerly winds, and a south-westerly wind change expected later tomorrow night, we are strongly urging residents to LEAVE EARLY and be prepared to stay away overnight.

If you are able to, consider leaving tonight or early tomorrow morning at the latest.

⚠️ This is not a “wait and see” day.
If a fire starts in our local landscape, it will move quickly and be extremely difficult to stop. The last couple of weeks of weather have pre-dried the environment — it is ready to burn.

Please action your bushfire survival plan now.

Stay informed by:

Monitoring the VicEmergency app

Listening to ABC Radio 774 AM

Watching Sky News (we have been informed by a few of you this may not be a great choice)

Remaining situationally aware of your surroundings

We are not telling you to evacuate because there is a fire.
We are asking you to leave early in case a fire starts.

Your safety comes first.

💧 Staying hydrated is critical in this extreme heat.
Children and the elderly can become dehydrated very quickly in these conditions.

Please ensure everyone is drinking water regularly, even if they don’t feel thirsty, and keep a close eye on loved ones, neighbours, and those who may be more vulnerable.

Early signs of dehydration can escalate fast in this weather — don’t ignore them.

Please stay safe Montrose.
