Weather to be dry and warm

As a result, the chance of exceeding median rainfall is less than 40 per cent across most of the country, including Victoria.

The remainder of April is likely to be drier than average. The bureau puts the chance of Shepparton exceeding the median rainfall of 117 mm as unlikely.

May to July maximum temperatures are likely to be warmer than average Australia-wide with Shepparton likely to exceed the median maximum temperature of 15°C but with only an equal chance of warmer nights.
