Weather in Melbourne

The city has four distinct seasons and usually enjoys a pleasant, temperate climate. However, winters do get cold and summers see some swelteringly hot days. Indeed, sometimes, all four seasons occur in one day: welcome to Melbourne. The high season of summer is still the best time to visit with a good range of festivals and sporting events taking place as well as the opportunity to enjoy a good variety of excursions and attractions, particularly the beaches.
