Best time to visit Melbourne from the UK

Melbourne is famously unpredictable: four seasons in one day. The Australian summer (December to February) is warm at 25C to 32C with the Australian Open tennis in January drawing many British visitors. Autumn (March to May) is mild at 17C to 23C with autumn colours and the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix in March. Winter (June to August) is cool at 8C to 14C but Melbourne's indoor cafe, bar, and arts scene thrives. Spring (September to November) is pleasant with Melbourne Cup horse racing in November.
