Winds will be moderate from the southwest, keeping temperatures below the summer average. This pattern is common when a cold front brushes the coast, giving Melbourne its reputation for sudden shifts.

Why is Melbourne’s weather so changeable?
Melbourne sits where cool southern ocean air meets warm inland air, and the city’s bay and hills create local effects. Cold fronts often sweep through, causing rapid temperature drops and sudden showers.
Does the live forecast above include wind chill?
Yes, the “feels like” temperature in the live forecast accounts for wind chill and humidity. It reflects how conditions actually feel on your skin, which can be several degrees cooler than the air temperature in windy weather.
When is the best time to visit Melbourne for fine weather?
Late summer (February–March) typically offers the most stable, warm days with lower rain chances. Autumn (March–May) also brings mild, clear spells, though mornings can be cool.
