Is Melbourne’s weather changeable today?

Yes — the live forecast above shows a mix of sun and showers, typical for Melbourne in spring. The city’s location between the ocean and inland heat often causes rapid shifts in temperature and wind.

Should I carry an umbrella?

It’s wise. With a 40–50% chance of a light shower, an umbrella will keep you dry during any brief downpour. The rain is unlikely to be heavy or prolonged.

What causes Melbourne’s four-seasons-in-one-day reputation?

Cold fronts from the Southern Ocean collide with warm inland air, creating rapid weather changes. This is most common in spring and autumn, as seen in today’s mix of sun, wind and showers.
