Parts of Victoria receive more than 100mm of rain in 10 days

A series of unusual low pressure systems and higher than normal moisture levels are driving the high falls, the Bureau of Meteorology says, which has warned farmers to expect more heavy rain in the coming days.

Omeo Station owners John and Nola Ross, Benambra, said a large portion of their 1220-hectare property was inaccessible due to the soggy conditions of many of their paddocks.

However, Mr Ross, who also leases a further 280 hectares, said the wet conditions were still welcomed after several years of drought.

"We've had a lot of rain and this most recent burst last weekend gave us about 75 to 80 millimeres and that came in two days," he said.

"Some of the crops are outstanding in the area and the grass is growing so I don't think anyone can complain but it will be hard to cut hay for some people because those paddocks are still very wet."

A herd of about 700 breeding cows, mainly from Angus bloodlines, runs across Omeo Station, and Mr Ross said the cattle were in forward condition after a promising start to spring.

"The cattle are in great order, as are the calves which are doing really well," he said.

"This is an exceptionally wet year and we're having trouble getting onto a lot of our paddocks.

"Our dams are overflowing and our creeks are flowing heavily, but it makes it very hard to get about."

Mr Ross said he was relying on the use of side-by-sides to move around the property as a result of the rain.

"If we didn't have the side-by-sides, we'd have to get back on the horse I think," he said.

He said the high spring rainfall had renewed concerns about the potential of bushfires this summer, with regrowth and land which had not been burned in recent times now "flourishing" as a result of the rain.

Bureau of Meteorology senior meteorologist Dean Narramore said there were two major factors driving the wet weather.

"We've had a very active weather pattern with large low pressure systems moving across the south-east part of the country every week since October," Mr Narramore said.

"On top of that, we've also had a lot of moisture around for these weather systems to use, which has then brought widespread rain and storms."

He said the eastern part of Victoria received the most rain in the last fortnight.

"All of East Gippsland and large parts of the north-east have had over 100mm in the last 10 days," he said.

"Normally we get one or two of these low pressure systems over spring, but we've had them almost weekly with four or five in the last month."

In the last 10 days, more than 35 localities across Victoria have received more than 100mm of rain.

Moving forward, Mr Narramore said the wet weather would continue into next week.

"It's good and bad news depending on where you are," he said.

"This weekend is again looking wet and we'll see another low pressure system track across the south-eastern parts of the country this weekend.

"It's likely to bring another round of widespread rain and thunderstorm activity with possible heavy falls."

Mr Narramore said the south-west of Victoria and most of Melbourne would likely only experience light showers.
