Check the live forecast above before heading out – Templestowe Lower’s inland position means a few degrees warmer than the Melbourne city centre this afternoon, with afternoon sea breezes arriving later than along the bay.
What’s shaping Templestowe Lower’s weather today?
Sat inland on a bend of the Yarra River, this north-eastern suburb misses the full cooling effect of Port Phillip Bay until the afternoon. The live forecast above shows how cloud cover and a developing north-westerly flow will push temperatures a notch above the metropolitan average, typical for a spring day in Melbourne weather patterns.
How does Templestowe Lower’s position affect long-term climate?
Sheltered by the Dandenong Ranges to the east, Templestowe Lower sees slightly fewer rain days than suburbs closer to the hills, but still averages around 650 mm annually. Summer maxima hover near 28 °C, while winter minima rarely dip below 6 °C. The Yarra corridor funnels cool air at night, so mornings can be crisp even after a warm day.
Does Templestowe Lower get severe storms?
Yes, especially in spring and summer when afternoon thunderstorms develop over the Dandenongs and track west across the Yarra valley. The severe weather warning page has real-time alerts.
When does the cool change reach Templestowe Lower?
On a classic Melbourne day, the afternoon sea breeze arrives about 60–90 minutes after it hits St Kilda, shifting the wind to the south and dropping temperatures by 5 °C or more by early evening.
Is Templestowe Lower affected by the Yarra River flooding?
Low‑lying areas near the river can flood during prolonged heavy rain, but the suburb’s elevated residential pockets are generally safe. Check the Bureau of Meteorology flood warnings for Australia weather updates.
