Climate - Melbourne Australia Average weather, temperature, rainfall, sunshine hours. In Melbourne, a city of southern Australia and the capital of the state of Victoria, the climate is subtropical oceanic , with mild winters and pleasantly warm summers.
Although it has a mild climate, Melbourne is subject to temperature swings because it can be reached both by cold air masses from the sea surrounding Antarctica and by hot and dry air masses from the Australian desert.
Victoria has a mild, temperate climate with summers that are warm, autumns that are moderate, winters that are cool, and springs that are sunny and bright. Skies are clear on most days in Melbourne apart from the odd cloud. We have less overall rainfall than Sydney or Brisbane, but locals in Melbourne usually keep an umbrella in the car and wear layers of clothing because Melbourne weather can change quickly.
For more information, visit the Bureau of Meteorology website. Always swim and surf between the flags. Red and yellow flags on beaches are common around Australia to protect swimmers from dangerous rip currents. When people cant take the heat they hate everywhere thats warmer than where they live. Too much defending Melbourne going on here. John needs to sit down and watch a good game of rugby and discover the world. You forgot to mention the storm and rain that occurred after out of no where i got drenched walking again.
The forecast two days ago predicted rain late afternoon today, thats why I went for a ride this morning instead of this afternoon. Check out the stats for rain fall up there. The 2 cities couldnt be more different in lifestyle.
Perth is apparently sunnier but theres just so so much sunshine here I cant imagine anyone would need more - plus Perth has a cold winter. Almost every single morning coffee here in 18 mths has been in the lovely sun outdoors, true outdoor lifestyle.
Queensland has warm to very hot weather all year round, some people like that, Victoria has seasons, some people like that. Theres no right or wrong here. This choice can have a big effect on people close to you so needs to considered very carefully.
A great multicultural location vs culturally challenged more bogans per square kilometre in Queensland than anywhere in the country great choice of landscape diversity in Victoria i. All these activities is something I would personally never leave. All comes down to the individual. No right or wrong here.
That's going off track Victoria is great as i mentioned before we have everything, but you have to remember we cant always experience what Victoria has to offer. Money, weather and time. We can always find a job regardless of state. If the weather is better we have greater opportunity to be doing outdoor activities. Last is time well if the weather is unstable you have less time, if you are stuck in traffic as most of Melbourne is you have lest time.
These are all negative attributes when you are trying to live a happier healthier lifestyle. Family and friends are important but why base a decision attached to them.
If your family and friends love and care for you, they can always visit and call. If anyone has an attachment to there family and friends then i see that as a far bigger problem. You cannot compare something unless you have lived it. Do what you have to do my friend. Best of luck! Thank you, :. I know everyone is different and has there own reason why they choose something. I try to follow some basic rules, 1. To do what ever makes you happy. More is lost by indecision than by wrong decision.
Not live with what could of been. If something is worth it, a bit of hardship is nothing. Enjoy your weekend. You just move back although we joke how no one ever leaves here!! The only people who truly defend melbournes weather are people that were born and bred here and haven't really lived anywhere else. I actually feel sad for them because they have no idea how pleasant life can be living with blue skies.
Im currently in stage 4 lockdown enduring my 3rd Melbourne winter with plenty of time on my hands to make a decision - I'm not wasting another year of my life in this dreary hell. I'll be moving back to northern NSW as soon as the borders open. Melbourne is a bleak and miserable hole.
The worst place I've ever lived. The dreary weather has a massive impact on the way you live your life here, which is basically inside on the couch with the heaters going for 8 months of the year. The people reflect this mood, people are rude and unfriendly and just damn miserable. If you are filthy rich and can afford an apartment in the city and can eat out at restaurants every night and brunch at cafes all day then maaaaybe it would be bearable, but to live an ordinary life in the suburbs, you just wouldn't It depends.
I have lived in Sydney and Melbourne extensively. So I understand the weather in both. Each year the weather can be different in Melbourne. Some years it will feel like a double very dry no rain hot summer and other times it will feel like it will miss summer. The winter can be the same.
Some years mild other years freezing. I wouldnt say most of the time it is cold. Id say 5 months is cold. And 4 months or so is really nice mild in between weather. Today is 28th June, proper winter. I love the 4 seasons. Today I am absolutely loving the sun as I missed it yesterday. But good different imo. Brenda your the type that gets cold in 20 degree weather.
Melbourne is not for you. Move to QLD immediately. Damn true. Southerners whinged humidity. I loathe humidity. No summer daylight savings. Georgis, mind your own business as to where I live and address the questioner, not the responders to the questioner!
I have not been in Melbourne too long coming from the UK just last year. So far the weather has been fairly stable but those days where it was in the 40 range was uncomfortable but in a few days it was back down again. The winter does not bother me, the UK can almost feel like a year long winter in comparison. One thing that took me by surprise though was the hail storm on the 19th January, it caused damage to skylights, roof tiles and the veranda polycarb corrugation was shredded.
Thankfully my car was in the carport at the time so no damage there. We are fortunate here in Australia that you can live in different climate zones and people often move from Queensland to Melbourne because they hate the heat.
If you dont like cold nights move to the tropics, simply put, there are choices out there instead of whingeing about it. You do realise that the OP asked about the weather? Been here 4 years so not a lifetime but long enough to experience it all. It took some getting used to. Mostly just frustrating to try to plan activities weeks or months out. The key is taking a trip North for an escape! Silver lining I suppose. Winters are cloudy and rainy but nowhere near those of Northern Europe or the US northeast.
Agree with someone above who said a lot of homes have crappy insulation. Not all but many. Mine is. Heater are essential. Main problem with the weather in Melbourne is the fact that Australia has the worst construction industry in the western world with zero building standards. Curled up by the heater tonight here in Melbourne-town.
Interesting stream of responses. I find the winters freezing and long, and suffer the winter badly. The extended grey gets me down. Indigenous knowledge recognises climatic seasons rather than the introduced European 4 seasons. The weather is not so great It is never consistent with the season.
And 4seasons in 1 day is not a myth. The good thing is that even if winter is pretty cold you can have some lovely sunny day not too cold but in summer the weather is crazy from very high temperature to cold Good grief!
Anyway, for all the moaning and groaning over which part of Australia has better weather depending entirely on your individual tastes surely? Just means we are much tougher than you Bad weather coming up for some this weekend in Melbourne.
High 20s. Hang in there cold lovers! I have been here for a couple months, and I have not felt so cold in my life. I personally believe that here in Melbourne we dont really have a winter, more like a long autumn followed by a long spring. If you want a winter you really have to head to higher altitude, place like Bright in Victoria or Jindabyne in N. Melbournes climate doesnt get could enough to call it winter.
Miss Melbourne dearly. One bad thing is weather. Miserable gray weather. Summer here is so horrible oppressive heat and humidity. Sad sunset not 9pm. Melb is in the middle of winter already A cloudy SE Qld day is 1, times better than that! I didnt find my 1st summer here hot or humid either I think Melbourne should move to a better climate then it truly would have it all.
I grew up in northern nsw and then spent 18 years in brisbane. I moved to melbourne 2 years ago where I met my partner who was born and bred here. I HATE melbourne and its weather. Did you know statistically melbourne has more than over cast days a year? Thats 6 months of grey It really is a miserable place to live, I lay there at night and long for the blue skies of Qld. Life is so much better when the sun is shinning. My partner doesnt want to move north so I will probably have to leave him cause living in melbourne is unbareable, even for love.
I HATE life here. Why would anyone want to live in Victoria. I long for the sunny blue skies every single day of my life here, like you. I totally agree! My boyfriend is doing university here, but I might have to move and do distance, because its so depressing.
Brenda, someone already made this comment and I agree. If you dont like it, move. I hate living in Victoria and would move tomorrow if my family wasn't rooted here. I have lived in the tropics overseas for 10 years, and also QLD previously. Life is so much better waking up to sunshine. I literally spring out of bed to a clear sky. Victoria on the other hand feels like groundhog day, waking to clouds, what is the point?
But it goes on for 9 months of the year, not 3. And yes Victorian summer's are very short lived and erratic. I like Victorias weather I do not think I am an ignorant person or in denial.
People like different things. I couldnt think of anything worse than it being sunny every single day. I like the seasons. Its natural. The cycle of life. I love the cosy feeling of wearing a big jumper and having a cup of tea. Just as much as I like a nice walk in the sunshine. I find in Melbourne I enjoy both. The original poster asked about the weather. I gave my opinion on the weather. Comments on my life choices are out-of-line for you, but thanks anyway for your input.
Please address any further comments to the person who asked the question and not to the responders. Mark, you do realise that I did not post the question? Someone asked about Melbourne weather and I responded that I think it sucks. Since then, I have been attacked on this page for offering my opinion. I have been insulted for my age by the ignorant little 'biryani4lyfe' and called a "Boomer" by that ignorant child.
All because I expressed an opinion on the weather in response to a question about the waether! Well, I was wrong re this year. Only March 3 and Ive needed to run the heating since yesterday to keep the temperature at a comfortable 21 degrees. Only stopped using the ducted heating mid-December. Just 9 weeks of summer this year and now were back to running our heaters and heavy clothes again for the next nine months. Usually winter runs months in Melbourne, but sometimes its nine. Last year the temperature rose above 40 degrees twice before mid December and its usually warm from October all the way through to April.
Not sure how you could suggest that Melbournes winter runs for 9 months because you had to use the heater once on a 20 degree day that many would find warm. Brenda I moved from Melb to Bris a year ago. And utilising the pool all year long is amazing - the improvement to quality of life for an outdoorsy person is immeasurable!
You are an ignorant, mannerless human being, biryani4lyfe. I'd rather be old, than ignorant and mannerless. I'm not going to record them here. I was just commenting on the weather. So glad they turned out nothing like you, honey-child. Keep working on your attitude too, as well as your spelling, and you too can make YOUR mum proud. You can improve; I know you can, little one! All the very best to your lil self.
I was born in Melbourne and love it here. But the weather is so bad. I lived in North Queensland a few years ago and I loved it but got sick of the humidity and moved home after a couple of years. I think northern NSW on the coast is where I will finally settle when I retire, I definitely like the warm weather opposed to cold weather but like I said Melbourne is the best city.
Typically the temperature falls to much less than 7 overnight. Frosts are common. If you need to park your car out, prepare for a layer of windshield ice in the morning. Overnight temperatures are typically around 4 but often drop as low as 1 or 2 in winter. I agree as well that there are too many of us here now for our facilities.
I just think in Australia that people whinge too much about a cool climate. It very rarely drops below 4 degrees in Melbourne. You must live in the far outer suburbs if it does. No, I dont live in the outer suburbs and frosts are common overnight in Melbourne in winter. Just learn to love and respect nature and the seasonal cycles and you shd be fine! Negativity just attracts more negativity. Yea I agree. The topography within 2 miles of Melbourne contains only modest variations in elevation, with a maximum elevation change of feet and an average elevation above sea level of 78 feet.
Within 10 miles contains only modest variations in elevation feet. Within 50 miles contains significant variations in elevation 4, feet. This report illustrates the typical weather in Melbourne, based on a statistical analysis of historical hourly weather reports and model reconstructions from January 1, to December 31, There are 3 weather stations near enough to contribute to our estimation of the temperature and dew point in Melbourne.
For each station, the records are corrected for the elevation difference between that station and Melbourne according to the International Standard Atmosphere , and by the relative change present in the MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis between the two locations.
The estimated value at Melbourne is computed as the weighted average of the individual contributions from each station, with weights proportional to the inverse of the distance between Melbourne and a given station. To get a sense of how much these sources agree with each other, you can view a comparison of Melbourne and the stations that contribute to our estimates of its temperature history and climate.
Please note that each source's contribution is adjusted for elevation and the relative change present in the MERRA-2 data. All data relating to the Sun's position e.
