Melbourne's Climate

Melbourne has a temperate oceanic climate famed for delivering "four seasons in one day", with weather that can swing from sunshine to wind and rain within hours. Summers (December–February) are warm to hot, usually 20–28°C, but can spike above 40°C during heatwaves driven by hot northerly winds before a cold front sends temperatures tumbling. Winters (June–August) are cool and damp, 7–14°C, with plenty of cloud, drizzle and wind. Rain is spread fairly evenly across the year rather than concentrated in one season. This page offers an hourly and 14-day forecast plus detailed metrics including humidity, wind, UV and air quality (AQI).

Frequently asked questions

Why is Melbourne known for 'four seasons in one day'?

It sits where hot inland air meets cold fronts from the Southern Ocean, so the weather can flip from hot and sunny to cold and wet within hours.

What is the hottest month in Melbourne?

January and February are hottest, averaging 25–26°C, though heatwaves can push temperatures above 40°C for a few days at a time.

Does it snow in Melbourne?

Snow virtually never falls in the city, but nearby ranges such as Mount Donna Buang and the Dandenongs can see snow in winter.

When is the best time to visit Melbourne?

Autumn (March–May) is usually the most settled and pleasant, with mild sunshine, cool air and fewer dramatic swings than other seasons.
