Well, it's taken its sweet time, but it looks like Sunraysia's warmer weather is finally ready to make an appearance!
After what has felt like an endless run of cooler days, jackets, jumpers and the occasional heater being switched back on, Mildura is heading for a very summery 36 degrees on Tuesday 10 November.
That's right, it's time to dust off the Speedos, drag the pool noodles out of the shed and check whether the backyard pool has turned green over winter!
From Jumpers to Thongs!
According to the Bureau of Meteorology, Mildura is expected to reach 29 degrees on Monday before jumping to 36 on Tuesday.
And it doesn't look like a one-day wonder, either. Wednesday and Thursday are both forecast to reach 31 degrees, with 33 on Friday and 34 on Saturday.
It's certainly starting to feel a lot more like the Sunraysia we know!

Forecast temperatures are subject to change.
For many locals, the warmer weather means firing up the barbecue, getting the outdoor furniture ready and perhaps planning that first proper afternoon around the pool.
And for those who prefer the Murray River, it's a reminder that our favourite time of year for getting out and about on the water is just around the corner.
A Little Taste of Summer
Tuesday isn't expected to be completely without a hiccup, with a slight chance of a shower or afternoon thunderstorm, but with a forecast top of 36 degrees, there's no mistaking that summer is knocking on the door.
Of course, with the warmer weather comes the usual reminder to slip, slop, slap, keep hydrated and take care in the heat, particularly if you're working outdoors.
But after all those cooler days, we're guessing there'll be more than a few locals welcoming the change.
Are the Speedos Ready?
So, Sunraysia, are the Speedos ready, or do you reckon they might have shrunk a little over winter?
Either way, the warm weather is on its way — and it's about time!
