Melbourne weather: Train commuters hit with cancellations as 'one-in-100-year' storm clean-up continues

The clean-up across Melbourne has continued on Friday morning after wild storms caused severe damage to many homes and brought down hundreds of trees across the city.

Some pockets of the city received "one-in-100-year" rainfalls in Thursday's torrential downpour, according to the weather bureau.

And the downpour is still causing major headaches for train travellers with some services cancelled and others suspended.

The end to the hot and humid conditions of the past week is also in sight. Once some early morning fog clears, it should be a dry day with only a slight chance of rain, the Bureau of Meteorology says.
