Melbourne’s weather this week, as shown in the live forecast above, is a classic spring mix of sunny spells and passing showers, with cool mornings and mild afternoons. Expect a cold front mid-week to bring a brief temperature drop and gusty winds.

What’s driving this week’s pattern?

A low-pressure trough moving across Victoria is drawing moisture from the Tasman Sea, producing scattered showers. A cold front arrives Wednesday, shifting winds to the south and dropping temperatures. After a cool day Thursday, conditions stabilise into the weekend with high pressure building. For broader conditions, see the Australia weather hub.

Looking further ahead?

For those planning beyond the week, the melbourne weather 10 days forecast shows a return to milder weather next week. A weather melbourne 14 day forecast from the Bureau suggests a drying trend, though longer-range models for the melbourne weather 30 days outlook indicate typical spring variability. A 28 day weather forecast melbourne bom is available from the Bureau’s extended guidance. Daily details are on our Melbourne Weather page.
