Sunshine? More Like "Shine, Briefly"
Let's be honest, sunshine in July is about as common as finding a fluffer napping on the MCG (that's the Melbourne Cricket Ground, for the uninitiated). You might get lucky with a few shy sunbeams peeking through the clouds, but don't expect to get your tan on. Pack your vitamin D supplements folks, this is more "cosy fire by night" weather.
Tip: Highlight what feels important.
Shivering is a National Pasttime (Almost)
Melbourne in July is properly cold. We're talking brisk winds that'll have you yearning for a cuppa (that's Aussie slang for tea) and a hug from your grandma. Average highs hover around 14°C (57°F), but nights can dip down to a teeth-chattering 6°C (43°F). So pack those thermals, or as we affectionately call them here, "woolen undies."
QuickTip: Pause when something feels important.
Rain, Rain, Go Away (But Probably Won't)
July is Melbourne's second wettest month, so an umbrella is a non-negotiable accessory. Think of it as your trusty sidekick, your knight in not-so-shining armor. While it won't be a constant downpour, expect scattered showers and the occasional soaking.
QuickTip: Don’t just scroll — process what you see.
Bonus Tip: If you hear Melburnians say, "It's just a drizzle," translate that to "wear your waterproof boots."
QuickTip: Read section by section for better flow.
