How cold will it be in October in Melbourne and Adelaide ?

Hi Everyone ,

Just wondering how many sets of warm clothes to pack for my upcoming cruise ,end of October and early November.

My thoughts are that by layering,I should be ok:) . jacket and maybe a long sleeved jumper:) would that be enough ? or should I pack more winter clothes?

Cheers Deb

You should be fine with that.

Temp high about 20-25 c but you might get some cold ones f you are unlucky, but as you are from Port I doubt you'll get anything you think is hot.

I think your layering idea is perfect. I live in Melbourne but am from Adelaide. In October, both cities can have pretty changeable weather. Its been lovely the last week or two (low 20s) but we could still get a very cold day so you need to be prepared.

Temps will probably be variable ;)

As an example the maximum temps forecast for the next seven days are:

Melbourne

Our springs are usually divine and lovely........so you should be fine.

But then again, it is Melbourne so you could easily have all 4 seasons in the one day!!!!

Hi Everyone ,

Thank you for your replies ,will pack for all seasons .:)

Cheers Deb

Wont be cold at all in Melbourne as that is Spring . Expect generally fine weather temperature range 22 - 30 degrees celsius . Ideal weather .

Really? I can recall a number of unexpectedly cold days (less than 15C) in Melbourne in spring and summer. I've learnt to pack everything from bathers to a polar fleece when going to Melbourne, regardless of the time of year. :D

You can go to

http://www.wunderground.com

and check for the very specific weather history on many of the key towns in the world for their past temperatures in that specific area for a date in the past. Just look lower left in the page for weather history area, put in your exact dates and the year prior. You will then see what last year was like, along with recent highs and lows for that date there.

THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio

IME take layers….

in 1991 it openly reach 8c in Melbourne and that was a day in January… the preceding week had all been high 30s.

When the winds come off the southern ocean you know about it. Conversely when the winds come in from the red centre you do too.
