Check the live forecast above for Melbourne’s hour-by-hour conditions, then plan around the city’s famously changeable pattern of clear mornings, hot afternoons, and sudden cool changes. That’s the key to staying comfortable whether you’re headed to the CBD or the Dandenongs.
What does the hourly forecast really tell you?
The hourly breakdown from the Bureau of Meteorology shows temperature, chance of rain, wind speed and direction for each three-hour block. For Melbourne, the most useful details are the timing of the cool change (often sweeping through in late afternoon) and any storm warning. If you see a thunderstorm icon for 3 pm, that’s your cue to adjust an outdoor plan. The Melbourne weather page gives a broader seven‑day view, while the hourly data is best for deciding when to head out.
Why does the cool change matter so much?
A sudden southerly wind can drop the temperature by 10 °C in an hour. That’s typical in summer and early autumn. The hourly forecast shows exactly when that change arrives, so you can pack a jacket even if the morning feels hot. Likewise, a storm warning for Melbourne today often appears in the hourly details before the broad forecast picks it up.
Where can I see the weather in Melbourne tomorrow hour by hour?
The live forecast above defaults to today, but you can scroll to the next day. For a quick look, check our Melbourne page or the BOM app. The hourly data is updated around 9 pm each evening for the next 24 hours.
Is the BOM Melbourne 7‑day forecast reliable for hourly planning?
The seven‑day outlook is good for big‑picture trends but less accurate for exact timing. For hour‑by‑hour decisions, use the live forecast above or the weather melbourne hourly bom graphic on BOM’s site, which refines predictions as the day approaches.
How do I find a storm warning for Melbourne today?
Storm warnings appear as a coloured alert on the hourly forecast. For the official word, visit the Bureau of Meteorology’s warnings page or our Severe Weather Warning hub. The hourly data often shows a lightning symbol before a warning is issued.
