What August is like in Melbourne
Late winter, and the days are noticeably lengthening. Temperatures remain cold but occasional warm northerly bursts hint at the spring to come. Rainfall is similar to July but cold fronts begin to arrive with more frequency ahead of the equinox.

Averages are useful for planning travel, events or what to pack, but any single August can run warmer, cooler, wetter or drier than the long-term normal.
