Melbourne today is set for a mild spring day with partly cloudy skies and a chance of a passing shower, typical of the city’s famously variable November weather. The live forecast above shows temperatures around the low 20s, with a light south-westerly breeze.
What’s the UV index for Melbourne today?
Given the time of year, the UV index is likely to reach a moderate to high level through the middle of the day. If you’re heading out, especially around the bayside suburbs or the Yarra River, slip on a hat and sunscreen – the sun can still catch you out even when there’s a bit of cloud.
Will it rain in Melbourne today?
The live forecast above indicates a low-to-medium chance of a brief shower, most likely in the afternoon. The rain band, if it arrives, will probably be patchy and light – enough to dampen the footpaths along Collins Street but not enough to derail outdoor plans in Fitzroy or St Kilda.
Is Melbourne’s weather likely to change later this afternoon?
Yes. Melbourne is known for four seasons in one day, and a cool change could move through by late afternoon, bringing a dip in temperature and a fresher westerly wind. Keep a jacket handy if you’re out near the bay.
Should I carry an umbrella today?
It’s a sensible precaution. The chance of a shower is only moderate, but the cloud cover can turn to drizzle quickly. A compact umbrella won’t weigh you down, especially if you’re walking between Flinders Street and the MCG.
How does today compare to the seasonal average for Melbourne in November?
November’s average high in Melbourne is around 22°C, so today’s forecast is close to normal. The mix of sun and cloud is typical of late spring, when inland heating often collides with cool air from Bass Strait.
