Hughesdale’s weather is typical of Melbourne’s inner south-east, with the live forecast above showing today’s conditions in a suburb known for its mild, variable climate and proximity to the city’s cooling sea breezes.
What is the typical weather pattern for Hughesdale?
Hughesdale sits on the coastal plain, so its weather is shaped by the Bass Strait and Port Phillip. The live forecast above reflects a pattern of warm summers, cool winters, and frequent afternoon shifts from the bay.
- Summer averages around 26°C, but can spike to 40°C before a south-westerly change drops the temperature by 10 degrees in an hour.
- Winter sees highs near 14°C, with overcast skies and light drizzle from the west, though heavy falls are rare.
- Spring is the most changeable season, with clear mornings giving way to gusty afternoon winds from the north-west.
- Rainfall is fairly consistent year-round, averaging 50–60 mm per month, with no distinct wet or dry season.
How does the weather change week to week?
The live forecast above is your best guide, but Hughesdale’s weeklies are driven by a four-day cycle of high-pressure ridges and troughs moving across the Bass Strait.
- A typical week starts with clear skies and light winds, then a mid-week trough brings cloud and a 30% chance of showers by Wednesday.
- Weekends often see a return to settled conditions, but a cold front from the south can drop the temperature by 5–7°C on Sunday.
- For those checking weather 10 days, the pattern holds: a ridge builds every third or fourth day, keeping variability steady.
- If you want Melbourne weather for the broader region, remember Hughesdale is usually 1–2°C cooler than the city centre due to its open parkland.
Does Hughesdale get fog often?
Yes, especially in autumn and winter. The suburb’s low-lying position near the Gardiners Creek catchment traps moisture overnight. Fog typically lifts by 10 am as the sun warms the ground, but can reduce visibility to 200 metres.
How reliable is the weather 10 day forecast for Hughesdale?
It is moderately reliable for trends but less so for exact temperatures. The Bureau of Meteorology’s model has 70% accuracy for day five, dropping to 50% by day ten, due to the fast-moving fronts that hit the south-east.

Is the Hughesdale weather radar useful for local storms?
Yes, the Melbourne radar at Laverton covers Hughesdale well for broad rain bands. For local detail, combine it with the Melbourne weather page, which shows how the bay’s sea breeze affects afternoon storms.
