Melbourne’s Tuesday brings a mostly fine morning with increasing cloud later, as shown in the live forecast above — ideal for a walk along the Yarra before the afternoon breeze picks up.
What’s driving today’s conditions?
A trough moving across the state is drawing in a warmer north-westerly flow, keeping temperatures near the seasonal norm for most suburbs. Cloud will build from the west during the afternoon, and a light shower cannot be ruled out near the Dandenong Ranges, but the city itself stays largely dry. Winds shift cooler from the south-west after sunset, making for a crisp evening.
How to plan your day
Morning sun is best for outdoor errands — UV levels climb to high around midday, so a hat and sunscreen are wise even with cloud. The breeze freshens by late afternoon, so if you’re heading to St Kilda or the bay, a light jacket will come in handy.
Will Melbourne see rain today?
Most suburbs stay dry. A stray shower may brush the outer eastern hills during the afternoon, but the central city and bayside areas should remain fine. The trough responsible stays well to the south.
Is it windy?
Winds are light north‑westerly in the morning, then pick up to around 20–30 km/h mid‑afternoon as the trough passes. Gusts die down after sunset, leaving a calm evening.
What time does the temperature drop?
The mercury starts cooling from late afternoon as the cooler south‑westerly change arrives. By 8 pm expect the low teens, so have a jumper handy if heading out.
