mm per monthTips & Recommendations
- Always carry layers — temperature swings of 10-15°C in a single day are common
- A windproof jacket is more useful than a heavy coat for most of winter
- Summer heatwaves (35-45°C) typically last 2-3 days before a cool change sweeps through
- The "Fremantle Doctor" equivalent here is the southerly change — temperatures can drop 15°C in an hour
- Melbourne has more overcast days than most Australian cities, so vitamin D supplements are worth considering in winter
