In good news for all except hay-fever sufferers, Victoria's weather is finally starting to shed its winter coat for spring.
Following morning drizzle on Thursday, the clouds are expected to clear around Melbourne before a forecast four days of warm and sunny weather.
Temperatures will reach 21 degrees on Friday, and a maximum of 24 on Sunday.

But don't put away the brollies just yet; there may be a few more drizzly days next week.
Showers are expected on Monday and Tuesday in the city, but temperatures will still hover in the mid teens.
Even though temperatures are starting to climb, the Bureau of Meteorology has advised that much of Victoria is likely to experience cooler than normal spring temperatures this year.
For those with allergies, Melbourne's pollen count will soar over the weekend, with a "very high" index forecast on Sunday.
