what sort of weather to expect?
We are of to Melbourne on the 14th August for 3 weeks to validate, what sort of weather can we expect to get over there, shall we take heavy clothes in case it is a bit cool or not? Andy

We're taking a fleece and shower proof jacket each... and will probably freeze!

Hi
I was there this time last year, would say warm coat, thick socks, long trousers, umbrella are necessary
. You'll get some nice days but expect rain and it gets cold once the sun goes down!Hope you enjoy it!

Re: what sort of weather to expect?
When we were there last August it was 55F/13C (according to my diary I kept of my travels). Mixture of sun and showers but definitely take some warmish clothing and a brolly.
Have fun!

)The day time avarage at the mo is slightly high, around 16
Nights can drop down a fair ways though, average is around 7 but can go to 4 or even freezing depending how high into the hills you go.

Re: what sort of weather to expect?
Are you staying in a hotel?
You see, the thing i find in aus, it that even down here in Mount G, in the depths of winter, the temperature is still very livable, normally about 14-15 during the day in mid-winter. HOWEVER!!! At night when its 4, and without decent heating/insulation is when i really feel it.
Bring light fleeces and raincoats for the day (it may well be showery), and thermals and hot water bottles for the night!!
