Summer in Melbourne

The average daily temperature of 26 degrees (Celsius) in Melbourne and about 4 degrees lower in the Dandenong ranges, provide pleasant temperatures for outdoor dining and activities. With daily temperatures that reach the high 30’s (Celsius) who could resist a visit to the beautiful bay beaches, Dandenong Ranges or the Yarra Valley.
Melbourne is known as a vibrant city with many attractions, from the casual laneways, with their Alfesco eateries, specialty shops and cosy little bars; each with its own individual character and charm; to the lush Melbourne’s parks, grand libraries and museums. Melbourne’s picturesque parks and gardens, which all have a story to tell, make it a unique city. Melbourne was voted the WORLDS MOST LIVABLE CITY again in 2013.
