A cold front, expected to move through Ballarat on Wednesday, is set to bring a hail storm while temperatures are tipped to bottom out this week with a top of 10C.

About 25 millimetres of rain fell on Ballarat from Monday afternoon through to Anzac dawn services with a further 2mm through the commemorative day.

This boosted the month’s total rainfall to 92mm and counting, but Wednesday’s thunderstorm is likely to bring the last wet weather for April.

Geelong felt the brunt of the pre-Anzac Day storm, drenched in 20mm between 5-7pm and a further 22mm in the next five hours on Monday night.

Ballarat was the area hardest hit outside Geelong with State Emergency Service crews responding to 35 jobs in the 24 hours to 2pm on Tuesday.

There were 420 calls for assistance statewide in the same period and Ballarat was the state’s fourth busiest unit.

Most cases were in Brown Hill and Nerrina for minor building and flood damage.

There were no reports of significant property damage or injuries due to the storm in Ballarat.

But we can prepare for winter weather to set in after what has been a relatively humid week for the city.

Expected temperatures are likely to only reach a top of 14C on Friday and across the weekend, through conditions are likely to be dry moving in to May before another weak cold front moving across the region next week.

Any snow tipped for Trentham is now considered unlikely but there was the possibility of a snow flurry atop Mount Macedon, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.

The bureau has kept in place a warning to sheep farmers across most of the state, including Ballarat in the south-west, for cold temperatures, rain, showers and south-westerly winds to extend through Wednesday.

This carries a risk of sheep and lamb losses if exposed to these conditions.
