Melbourne is bracing for a cool, showery Friday as a trough pushes across the city, with the live forecast above showing a top of 19°C and a 70 per cent chance of rain. Gusty westerly winds will make it feel cooler near Port Phillip Bay, so a jacket is advisable for the afternoon commute.

What is driving Melbourne’s changeable weather this week?

A cold front crossing the Bass Strait is responsible for the cloud and showers, with the rain expected to ease overnight as a ridge of high pressure builds from the west. Saturday should bring a return to mostly sunny skies and a milder 22°C, though the morning may start with patchy fog in the outer suburbs like Cranbourne and Werribee. The melbourne weather radar shows bands of light rain moving eastward across the northern suburbs, clearing by mid-afternoon.

How does the outlook look for the next week?

Looking at the melbourne weather 7 days, a weak high will settle over the region from Sunday, delivering stable conditions with daytime highs between 21°C and 24°C and light northerly breezes. For those planning ahead, the weather in melbourne 10 days hints at another trough approaching late next week, possibly bringing a cooler change by Thursday. The melbourne weather 14 days and melbourne weather 21 day forecast remain uncertain beyond that, but the Bureau of Meteorology’s extended outlook suggests a slightly wetter-than-average pattern for the remainder of November.

Where can I check the melbourne weather radar live?

The Bureau of Meteorology’s Melbourne radar at Laverton provides real-time rainfall images. It’s updated every 10 minutes and covers the city and most suburbs. You can access it via the BOM website or the WeatherZone app.

Is a melbourne weather 30 days forecast reliable?

Extended forecasts beyond 7–10 days are broad outlooks based on climate models, not precise day-by-day predictions. For Melbourne’s famously fickle weather, check the melbourne weather 7 days or weather in melbourne 10 days for more reliable planning.
