Melbourne is known for changeable weather, often described as four seasons in a day. Its temperate oceanic climate has warm summers, with January highs of 26-27°C and lows near 15°C, and cool winters, with July highs about 14°C and lows of 6-7°C. Seasons are reversed from the northern hemisphere.

Hot northerly winds from the interior can lift summer days above 40°C, followed by a cool southerly change that can drop temperatures by 10°C or more within hours. Frost is occasional, snow very rare. Over the past 50 years its average temperature has risen by about 0.2°C per decade.

Switch between daily, weekly, monthly and yearly views to compare a single date, a rolling week or month, or a full year. Dates are resolved in Melbourne's own timezone (Australia/Melbourne), not yours.
