Ex-tropical cyclone Seroja moves well south of the continent so don't expect more tropical rain

"Given that fast movement, it has crossed the coast into the Bight and its trajectory is putting it well south and east of Tasmania," he said.

"It's not looking like a heavy rainfall producer," Mr Browne said.

That heat doesn't translate all the way across to the south-east though, with western regions of Victoria expected to have very high fire danger today but to return to high and low-moderate danger by tomorrow.

April might feel early for snow, but it's not unheard of according to Mr Browne.

"We will likely see temperatures there drop down considerably — looking at around 10 to 12 degrees below average in areas like Perth and stretching right into north-western South Australia," Mr Browne said

"Once you start introducing cold air to Australia, it's very hard to encourage the warm air back down," he said
