If you have visited Melbourne or you are a local resident, then you will know that Melbourne endures warm summers, fantastic springs, mild autumns and crisp winters. After the Autumn period between March to May, Melbourne starts to chill out a little bit during the Winter season.

Between June and August the average daily temperature is between 7 and 17 degree celsius with an average monthly rainfall of around 49 mm.

When the weather gets colder in Melbourne the city starts to come alive with food festivals, shows, theatre, markets and much more.

There are plenty of hot drinks stalls so be sure to grab yourself a hot chocolate, mulled wine or hot cider and then walk round and explore the area.
