Temperatures throughout central Victoria will remain in the high 30s for much of today.
Due to the forecast temperatures an V/Line will run an extreme heat timetable on the Seymour and Shepparton lines, and a partial extreme heat timetable on the Bendigo and Echuca and Moama lines.
More news:
This will mean trains that usually travel at up to 160km/h need to slow down to 90km/h or less because steel tracks expand in the heat.
On Tuesday, Bendigo will reach a high of 38, Echuca 39, Castlemaine 35 and Maryborough 37.
Although today isn't currently a day of Total Fire Ban, the fire danger warning for the central, north central and northern country remains very high.
