=== '''What is the weather like?''' ===

The climate in Melbourne is totally unpredictable, which is unsurprising in a flat place subject to southerly antarctic influences and northerly dry and hot desert winds. Temperatures can vary between 10 degrees celcius and the low 40's on the same day but usually the weather is mild and fresh, never humid, though often cloudy. Check [http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDV10450.shtml current weather forecast] on the Bureau of Meteorology's website or [http://www.we-love-melbourne.net/weather-melbourne.html We Love Melbourne].

Newcomers either learn to love it, or never love it - Melburnians seem to deny the existence of weather totally. Large numbers of homes do not have central heating and a surprisingly large number of people continue to dress as if it were summer when it's the middle of winter! You will see a wide range of clothing on any single day; from flip-flops to Ugg boots, from singlets to scarves and from shorts to long-johns. So the choice is yours but the decision is never easy.
