How to read the Melbourne forecast
A good forecast is really three views at once. The current panel tells you what it feels like outside right now, which is what matters before you head out the door. The hourly strip is for planning the next part of your day: when the cool change arrives, when the wind picks up, when it is warm enough to walk. The seven-day outlook is for the week ahead, and it is most reliable in the first three or four days. In Melbourne especially, treat the hourly strip as your primary guide — conditions can shift dramatically within a single afternoon.
