I think it's winter there that time of year.

July and August is winter time with lots of rain and chilly winds.
But there's no snow in the city, but maybe in the high country.
Australia uses Celsius degrees and no Fahrenheit, so it's a little hard to explain. But winter is cool like European/American autumn/fall. When I stayed there a couple of years ago in August it even had been as warm as on a summer day with 25 degrees. You really can have all four seasons within a day.

Melbourne has got some challenging and interesting weather patterns. I've seen flash lightning and roads flooded out in a matter of hours as well as sunny lengthy relaxed warm days too. Its always good round St.Kilda on the bay when the weather is freaking out.
Melbourne is a city with a beat that always keeps you on your toes in many ways as well as weather.

Melbourne can change dramaticlly in a day it only takes a wind change to get freezing cold winds from the snowy mountains . July is the windest part of the year. You can have a nice day then suddenly cold http://www.idcide.com/weather/ia/melbourne.htm

Weather affects everybody. Consequently it is of interest not only to residents of an area, but also to visitors. The following information is designed only as a general survey; one to give residents more knowledge of their environment and tourists an idea of what can be expected.

Melbourne enjoys a temperate climate with warm-hot summers; spring and autumn are balmy and mild, the winters cool. Melbourne is seldom unbearably cold or unbearably hot, temperature extremes when they do occur see the hotter realms of the thermometer causing more problems than the colder.

There is a reputation for rain in the city, which is statistically unfounded as Melbourne receives only 50 percent of the average rainfall of either Brisbane or Sydney. Perhaps it can sometimes be a little unpredictable, however, it is a comfortable environment to be in whatever the season. In fact it is a great place to watch the seasons change, they are so clearly defined and so highly visual within the many parks and gardens of autumn and spring, giving rise to all of natures spectacular beauty and charms within the confines of a great city.

Melbourne lays within the southern hemisphere where the seasons are reversed to those in Europe, North America and most of Asia. Melbourneâ€™s changes of seasons are renown for starting late, the â€œofficialâ€ first day of summer is 21st December, but it rarely feels like summer until mid January or even later. During the summer months outdoor activities in particular the fabulous Melbourne beaches are popular with both locals and visitors.

Melbourne's weather by the month
JANUARY & FEBRUARY
It is high summer in Melbourne during January and February, a typical day is warm and sunny with a freshening sea breeze arriving from the south in the afternoon. A few days are cool and cloudy, a maximum temperature below 20ÂºC being recorded about once a week. There are always hot days and the year's highest temperature of about 40ÂºC is usually recorded during these two months. Some of the hot days are accompanied by an unpleasant north wind, which can be quite strong. Mostly there are only one or two hot days in a row. Occasionally hot weather may continue for three or more days, when the daily appearance of that cool refreshing, north bound sea breeze in the afternoon, becomes that dayâ€™s most welcome visitor. The year's warmest night, with a minimum temperature of about 24ÂºC, is also recorded during these two months. Hot weather normally ends with an abrupt cool change when the mercury may fall by 10ÂºC in only twenty minutes. Some of these changes are dry and arid; showers and thunderstorms accompany others. High levels of humidity create discomfort on very few days, mostly towards the end of a hot spell. It is not uncommon for a fortnight to pass without rain. On occasions prolonged heavy rain can fall.

JULY & AUGUST
The windiest time of the year in Melbourne begins in July. There may be several days in succession of strong, cold north to northwest winds, often with cloud and some light rain. The weather is frequently cold and cloudy. The few days of calm sunny weather are accompanied by cold nights with frost or fog. Fog usually forms late in the evening and clears by mid-morning, but occasionally persists for the whole day during July. There are usually a few very cold days with strong southerly winds and showers, light snow may fall on the hills within 35 km of the city centre. On rare occasions, snow even falls in the city. The year's coldest day, with a maximum temperature of about 9ÂºC, usually occurs during July. Some rain falls on an average of one day in two; on some of these days there may be only a little drizzle or a light shower. The highest number of wet days in any one-month in the city is twenty-seven, in August 1939. However, heavy rain is rare at this time of the year. In late August there are some warmer days, when the temperature usually reaches 20ÂºC for the first time since May.

Melbourne is cold and wet as that is wintertime in australia

It is winter at that time of year. However the past few winters havn't been as cold as expected. Prob about 5 to 20 degrees Celcius. If you are coming here you will have to do the farenhite conversions, Sorry.

Depends if you feel the cold or not, I prefer the winter so it doesn't effect me all that much.
Temp usually ranges from 10-20 degrees celsius but the last few winters we have not had much rain, just a lot of wind.
However we do get snow in the mountains which are around 3-4 hours away so if you base it by that then yeah its fairly cold.

Teh Aussie

It is their winter, but it is in the southern hemisphere so it is warm compared to everyone else. Probably rainy though.
