VicSouth Desert Spring Star Party weather

We're frequently asked about the weather prospects for the next VicSouth and what the weather was like at previous VicSouths. In a word, varied. So far we've had days up to 40C, nights down to -5C, totally clear skies all night, totally clear skies until midnight (or totally clear skies from midnight), thunderstorms, fogs, scattered clouds, pre-cold-front thin cirrus, mild sunny days, rainy days, even a nearby bushfire (luckily downwind of us).
VicSouth is held in spring specifically to improve our chances of dry and mild weather; and so far we've always had a clear night sky at some time on at least two of the nights.
