So, what's the goss with Melbourne's weather?
Ah, Melbourne's seasons. They're like a moody teenager: unpredictable, dramatic, and capable of throwing tantrums at a moment's notice. But hey, that's what keeps things interesting, right?
Today, we're here to crack the code on what season this glorious (or maybe not-so-glorious) city is currently rocking. But before you dive in, grab a cuppa (or a hot cocoa if it's that time of year), chuck on your favourite trackie dacks (because, let's be real, comfort is key in Melbourne), and get ready for a fun little weather adventure. ☕️
Sunshine State or Snuggle Season? ☀️❄
Since Melbourne resides in the glorious Southern Hemisphere (insert obligatory "not upside down" joke here), its seasons are the complete opposite of those in the north. So, when it's Christmas time and Santa's sporting boardies down under, folks up north are layering up for winter. ?
QuickTip: Compare this post with what you already know.
June, July & August: Winter is Coming (Literally)
If you're reading this in June, then brace yourself, because winter has Melbourne firmly in its icy grip. Expect chilly days, nights that could make a penguin shiver, and the occasional foggy morning that makes the city look like a scene straight out of a mystery novel. ️♂️
Pro Tip: Invest in a good scarf. You'll thank us later.
Tip: Check back if you skimmed too fast.
But wait, there's more! Melbourne's temperamental nature means you might even experience a splash of sunshine (don't get too excited, it's probably just teasing you). ☀️
Spring Has Sprung (or is it about to Spring?)
If it's September, October, or November, then you're on the cusp of spring! This is when Melbourne starts shaking off its winter coat and blossoming (hopefully literally, with all those beautiful parks).
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.
Think: days getting longer, temperatures gradually climbing, and maybe even a few rogue thunderstorms to keep things interesting. Don't forget your brolly, folks! ☔️

December, January, and February are prime time for summer in Melbourne. Picture long, sunny days (perfect for hitting the beach!), balmy nights ideal for outdoor dining, and the occasional heatwave that will have you yearning for an ice cream (or ten).
QuickTip: A quick skim can reveal the main idea fast.
Warning: Melbourne's summers can be hot and dry, so stay hydrated and apply that sunscreen!
