Port Melbourne, on the northern shore of Port Phillip Bay, is experiencing conditions as shown in the live forecast above – a typical blend of coastal breeze and urban warmth that often keeps the suburb a few degrees cooler than the city centre during the afternoon.
What is the weather in Port Melbourne today?
The live forecast above provides the most immediate picture for Port Melbourne. Because the suburb sits directly on the bay, a south‑westerly sea breeze usually arrives by mid‑afternoon, moderating the inland heat.
