Melbourne's climate
Melbourne has a temperate oceanic climate and is famous for its changeable weather, often summed up as "four seasons in one day." Because the city lies where hot air from the interior meets cool air from the Southern Ocean, conditions can swing dramatically within hours: a warm, sunny morning can give way to a cold, windy, showery afternoon as a front sweeps through. Summers are mild to warm, but occasional heatwaves push temperatures well above 35 °C when northerly winds bring hot desert air, often ended by a sharp "cool change." Winters are cool and cloudy rather than cold, with frequent grey, drizzly days and frost rare in the city itself. Rainfall is spread evenly through the year, generally in the form of showers rather than prolonged downpours, and thunderstorms can occur in the warmer months. Spring and autumn are especially unsettled.
Air quality and UV in Melbourne
The page also shows air quality (US AQI, PM2.5, PM10, ozone, NO₂) and the UV index. The frequent winds usually keep the air well ventilated, though bushfire smoke can reduce air quality during dry spells and calm days may raise pollutant levels. Under strong Australian sun the UV index is often very high, even on cool days; together with sunrise, sunset and day length, sun protection is important.
