Melbourne in Summer |

Melbourne experiences warm and dry heat from December to March, making it an ideal season to get out and about. The pleasant weather and extended daylight hours make it the best time of year for outdoor activities.
Take advantage of the good weather by checking out the festivals, interactive exhibitions, and outdoor activities.
Summer in Melbourne begins in December and lasts until the end of February, with temperatures ranging from 24ºC to 40ºC. Most days are warm and sunny, although there may be occasional cool and cloudy days. While the initial heat may seem intense, Australian summers have their own allure, and it won't be long before you find yourself falling in love with the sun.
Melbourn presents a remarkable array of city-wide events every summer. Check out our recommendations (below) plus rooftop bars and outdoor cinemas. And when the temperature rises, cool off with a refreshing swim in one of the city's beaches, pools, or lakes.
