The weather in Melbourne Melbourne's Weather Australians who live in the northern States often make unkind remarks about Melbourne weather but we enjoy a very pleasant maritime temperate climate. They say Melbourne is cold and that it rains all the time. This is not really true.
Summers are warm with only a few very hot days and there is usually respite with cooler evenings.
It gets chilly in winter with temperates dropping to 2 to 5 degrees C over night. There is frost some winter mornings but no snow and ice. 50 to 60 mm of rain each month and 10 to 16 days have some rain in winter and spring. In summer there is rain on 7 to 9 days each month. Sydney has a warmer climate but has more rain and more rainy days.
