What's April usually like in Melb
This time last year the weather was warm, always sunny and generally fantastic. This year it's cold, showery and grey. Suppose the usual April weather here is about halfway between the two? What do the long stayers say?

We are 7 years here & never had a bad Easter yet, Winters seems to be on the way early this year but I'm sure we will have a few crackers before it finally sets in.

This Weather is as unusual as the 33 degrees that we sometimes get at this time of year.
Average should be circa 20-22 degrees now. We will get another couple of weeks around 22 degrees, with a top above 25............. (Hopefully )

My last 2 Aprils here have been pretty good and it's probably a bit early to call this one. Remember that temps in Melbourne can swing around quite a bit - for example it was low 30s only a couple of weeks ago. The most dramatic change I've experienced here was Feb last year when the temp dropped 18 degrees in 1 day.

The thing about April, in Melbourne, is that night time and evening temps start dropping rapidly. You still get hot *days*, last year we got 30 on the last day of April.
