Tasmania, Victoria and South Australia are being battered by gale to storm force winds today, triggering unseasonably high fire danger. North to northwesterly winds ahead of an approaching front have gusted over 90km/h in all three states this morning, causing high to severe fire danger ratings.

Tasmania's Mount Wellington registered a gust of 124 km/h at 10:30am, while Scotts Peak Dam withstood a gust of 104km/h this morning. Across Bass Strait, Melbourne had a turbulent peak hour as winds reached 81km/h in the city, the strongest since late February. Melbourne Airport registered its strongest winds since September, gusting to 94.5km/h this morning. Cape Willoughby recorded South Australia's strongest gust of the morning, reaching 100km/h, their strongest since October.
