Notice we have a long stretch of easterlies forecast this week. Are easterlies created by warm in land temps or is it caused by the black hole (ballarat) being ****ing cold and sucking all the warm air from the rest of victoria?

High pressure systems off the south coast as the airflow moves in an anti clockwise direction. If you look at a BOM weather map you will see a large one approaching!

A big strong low sitting of the NSW coast will add to the scenario by helping to stall the High as it comes in. Agree though, 4 or 5 days of is a bit unusual
